Approved

The celebrated singer Tosca lives only for art, until political intrigue suddenly disturbs her life and that of her lover, the painter Cavaradossi: When Cavaradossi hides the political refugee Angelotti, he is targeted by the unscrupulous police chief Scarpia, who has long had his eye on Tosca. To save Cavaradossi, Tosca not only has to betray Angelotti, but also give herself to Scarpia. Premiered in 1900, Puccini’s »Tosca« is practically unique in its close interweaving of political power and personal passions.

In this shortened version performed in concert, the narrative focus is on the opera’s intimate scenes, in particular the deadly three-way relationship between Tosca, Cavaradossi and Scarpia. The magnificent backdrop of the Staatskapelle concert stage is transformed into a church, in which Cavaradossi praises the beauty of his beloved and the choir sings a Te Deum; it also becomes the office of the police chief, Scarpia, where he lusts after Tosca, and she sings of her life dedicated to art and love; and finally the ramparts of the Castel Sant’Angelo, where Cavaradossi, full of despair, watches the sun rise for the last time.

The celebrated singer Tosca lives only for art, until political intrigues suddenly break out in 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 had an eye threw at Tosca. In order to save Cavaradossi, Tosca must not only betray Angelotti, but must also surrender to Scarpia. Hardly any opera interweaves political arbitrariness and personal passions as closely as Puccini's »Tosca« from 1900.

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