Tosca is one of the culminations in the history of opera, a composition of rare beauty and emotional power. Giacomo Puccini found the plot in a play that the playwright Victorier Sardou wrote especially for Sarah Bernhardt. Events develop rapidly, the action is like a released spring. Floria Tosca is a famous singer, beautiful and passionate woman. She easily succumbs to feelings, be it love, jealousy or anger. Once in the epicenter of political intrigue, Tosca becomes a victim of the manipulations of the insidious Scarpia and unwittingly destroys her lover, the artist Mario Cavaradossi. Puccini's music - sensual, expressive, deep - smooths out the excessive pathos of the literary source and speaks directly to the hearts of listeners who empathize with the main characters, as if they had spent many years with them.
