A shepherd

Giacomo Puccini died in Brussels a hundred years ago, in November 1924. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo pays him homage by bringing you a glamourous concert performance of Tosca with Maria José Siri, Roberto Alagna and Luca Salsi. The great difference in mood and character compared to La bohème still surprise us, in spite of them having been written by the same composer and the same librettists – Tosca with no less a struggle than La bohème, which had been conceived at a similar time but premiered four years earlier.

La bohème, set in Paris, is lyrical with a good portion of humour and romanticism. The story about six young people, who seem very real to us, is presented in short episodes. During Tosca, on the other hand, we are witness to passionate confrontations between three almost superhuman personalities. Set before a political background and located in sombre stone monuments within the city of Rome, a gory plot about love, sex and violence unfolds before us with a dramatic stringency that leaves no room for digression before it culminates in the final coup-de-théâtre: an execution which turns out to be real instead of fake, and the primadonna’s famous leap into the void from the Castel Sant’Angelo’s balustrade…
