Valide

The celebrated singer Tosca lives only for art, until political intrigues suddenly break into the life of the artist and her lover, the painter Cavaradossi: When he hides the political refugee Angelotti, he is targeted by the unscrupulous police chief Scarpia, who has long since cast an eye on Tosca. In order to save Cavaradossi, Tosca must not only betray Angelotti, but also surrender to Scarpia. Hardly any other opera interweaves political arbitrariness and personal passions as closely as Puccini's »Tosca« from 1900.

The concertante short version concentrates the plot on the chamber play-like scenes of the play and the deadly triangular relationship between Tosca, Cavaradossi and Scarpia. The magnificent concert hall of the Staatskapelle is transformed into the church, where Cavaradossi sings the beauty of his beloved and the choir sings the Te Deum; it also becomes the office of the police chief, where Scarpia consumes herself after the singer and Tosca sings about her life for art and love; and finally to the plateau of Castel Sant'Angelo, where Cavaradossi sees the sun rise one last time full of desperation.
