"I lived for art, I lived for love."

The plot, which takes place in less than 24 hours, centers on three main characters: the Roman diva Floria Tosca, her lover Mario Cavaradossi (a painter and republican) and the corrupt police chief Baron Scarpia. Scarpia has long been in love with Tosca. When he suspects Cavaradossi of helping an escaped political prisoner, he takes the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: he wants to get Tosca to reveal the prisoner's hiding place and Cavaradossi's involvement in order to make her compliant for himself. When Cavaradossi is captured, Scarpia offers Tosca a terrible deal - she must surrender herself to Scarpia or her lover will be killed...

With this work, which premiered in 1900, Giacomo Puccini was able to continue his successful series of opera megahits after LA BOHÈME. The arias of Tosca and Cavaradossi, “Vissi d'arte” and “E lucevan le stelle” or “Recondita armonia”, are common knowledge of musical theater literature.

Due to popular demand, the Baden stage will perform the most Italian of all Puccini's operas in the original language.

The plot focuses on Rome’s diva Floria Tosca, her lover Mario Cavaradossi and the corrupt police chief Baron Scarpia. Scarpia has been in love with Tosca for a long time. When he suspects Cavaradossi of helping an escaped political prisoner, he takes the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He plans to get Tosca to reveal the prisoner’s hiding place and Cavaradossi’s involvement in order to bring her under his power. When Cavaradossi is captured, Scarpia offers Tosca a terrible deal...

English

„Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore.“

Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung, die sich innerhalb von weniger als 24 Stunden abspielt, stehen drei Hauptfiguren: die römische Diva Floria Tosca, ihr Liebhaber Mario Cavaradossi (ein Maler und Republikaner) und der korrupte Polizeichef Baron Scarpia. Scarpia ist seit langem in Tosca verliebt. Als er Cavaradossi verdächtigt, einem entflohenen politischen Gefangenen zu helfen, nutzt er die Gelegenheit, zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe zu schlagen: Er will Tosca dazu bringen, das Versteck des Gefangenen und Cavaradossis Beteiligung zu verraten, um sie für sich selbst gefügig zu machen. Als Cavaradossi gefangen genommen wird, bietet Scarpia Tosca einen schrecklichen Handel an – sie muss sich Scarpia hingeben, oder ihr Geliebter wird getötet…

Mit diesem 1900 uraufgeführten Werk hat Giacomo Puccini nach LA BOHÈME seine Erfolgsserie von Opern-Megahits fortsetzen können. Die Arien Toscas und Cavaradossis, „Vissi d’arte“ und „E lucevan le stelle“ oder „Recondita armonia“, sind Allgemeingut der Musiktheaterliteratur.

Aufgrund vielfachen Wunsches wird die Bühne Baden die italienischste aller Opern Puccinis in Originalsprache spielen.
