Giacomo Puccini - Tosca (Štátna opera v Banskej Bystrici)

The inspiration for the Tosca Opera was the fantastic performance of actress Sarah Bernahardt in Sardou's drama La Tosca . Puccini was so fascinated by her acting that he set out to create an opera of the same name. Finally, an impressive work was created, which premiered on January 14, 1900 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. His story is a war drama, set in Italy in 1800 during the Napoleonic battles against Austria. Although the opera is at first glance a political drama, it is in fact a struggle between love and betrayal. Despite initial concerns, Tosca was received very well: Te Deum  had to be repeated at the end of the first act due to unrelenting applause, Toscina's main aria  Vissi d´arte it had to be repeated in the second act, as well as  E lucevan le stelle  or the love duet at the end. Tosca is still one of the most popular opera titles in the world today.

English

Inšpiráciou pre vznik opery Tosca bol fantastický výkon herečky Sarah Bernahardtovej v Sardouovej dráme La Tosca. Puccini bol jej herectvom taký uchvátený, že si zaumienil vytvoriť rovnomennú operu. Napokon vzniklo impozantné dielo, ktoré malo premiéru 14. 1. 1900 v rímskom divadle Teatro Costanzi. Jeho príbeh je vojnovou drámou, odohráva sa v Taliansku v roku 1800 počas napoleonských bojov proti Rakúsku. Napriek tomu, že sujet opery na prvý pohľad pôsobí ako politická dráma, v skutočnosti ide o boj lásky so zradou. Napriek počiatočným obavám bola Tosca prijatá veľmi dobre: Te Deum v závere prvého dejstva sa muselo pre neutíchajúce ovácie celé opakovať, Toscina hlavná ária Vissi d´arte musela byť v druhom dejstve tiež zopakovaná, rovnako aj E lucevan le stelle či ľúbostné dueto v závere. Tosca je aj dnes jedným z najobľúbenejších operných titulov na svete.
