Tosca by Puccini, De (2024/2024), Dirigido por Christopher Luscombe,, Director Francesco Cilluffo, The Grange, Northington-Alresford, Reino Unido

We are delighted to welcome back the team who gave us Verdi’s Falstaff in 2019 for Puccini’s searing masterpiece: conductor Francesco Cilluffo, director Christopher Luscombe and designer Simon Higlett. Tosca pulsates with dramatic tension like few other operas. Puccini’s score curdles the blood. Italian soprano Francesca Tiburzi has thrilled audiences worldwide with her eulogised portrayal of the central role: she sings the role for the first time in the UK at The Grange. We heard the wonderful young Uruguayan tenor Andrés Presno as Malcolm in Verdi’s Macbeth in 2022. He returns here as Cavaradossi. Dario Solari sings Baron Scarpia, for which he is renowned globally. Music to pin you to the back of the theatre and drama to keep you on the edge of your seat.
