Tosca: The first day of rehearsals | Grange Park Opera

Puccini’s Tosca has been called a “shabby little shocker” but ever since it was premiered in 1900, operagoers can’t get enough of it. Fuelled by revenge, lust, murder, and suicide – the opera continues to grip its audience.

Rome, June 1800 and the city is in ferment. The malevolent Baron Scarpia (Brett Polegato) wants to hunt down Angelotti, his political rival, but he is also in pursuit of the opera singer, Tosca (Izabela Matula), for entirely other reasons, but no less malign.

The key to both prizes is the artist Cavaradossi sung by Georgian tenor Otar Jorjikia fresh from presenting the role at La Scala, Milan.

With Francis O’Connor’s “epic” sets (The Times) and heart stopping arias delivered with lashings of love – and jealously – this is an unmissable experience.
