Tosca by G.Puccini, from Festival Puccini Torre del Lago, 2007. Directed by Mario Corradi, conductor Valerio Galli, starring Riccardo Ferrari, Stefano Secco, Giorgio Surian, Fernando Ciuffo, Antonia Cifrone, Franco Boscolo, Giovanni Caramanna, Massimo La Guardia and Veio Torcigliani. Performed in Italian and subtitled in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.

Tosca, Giacomo Puccini's fifth opera, was first staged at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14th January 1900. The opera initially stirred contrasting reactions among the public and critics. Whilst the latter generally expressed strong reservations, the public appreciated the opera greatly and decreed a success that has never waned since that date. The libretto was entrusted to Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, back in partnership after Manon Lescaut and Bohème.

From its first appearance in 1887, Tosca had proved to be one of the most popular dramas of Victorien Sardou (1831-1908), who had written it to suit Sarah Bernhardt. Sardou's theatre was essentially based on plot, enriched however by precise realistic and psychological touches. For Puccini, the encounter with Sardou's theatre basically meant an incursion into the sphere of the "verismo" melodrama, from which the composer had always kept his distance. His human and musical sensitivity was, indeed, far removed from the coarseness of verismo, and, substantially, Tosca thus represented an exception.
