Tosca Puccini

Approved

Tosca shows us the best characteristics of Puccini's composition and its ability to know how to contribute at all times what is necessary, and become unique in reference to the vocal and stage performance of the singers.
It is considered one of the most representative operas of the Italian verista repertoire (realist-naturalist style) of the second half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, for its dramatic intensity, with brilliantly shocking scenes such as the "Te Deum" of the Mixed Choir and Baron Scarpia at the end of the first act, and to host some of the most beautiful and exciting arias in the repertoire, such as the "Vissi d'arte" by the female protagonist Floria Tosca, the second act, or the "E lucevan le stelle" of the male protagonist Mario Cavaradossi, in the third and final act of the play.
The plot combines love, intrigue, violence, passion and death. Along with Madama Butterfly and La Bohème, he is part of Puccini's most famous opera trio.

Tosca nos muestra las mejores características de la composición pucciniana y su capacidad para saber aportar en cada momento lo necesario, y convertirse en único en referencia al lucimiento vocal y escénico de los cantantes.
Está considerada una de las óperas más representativas del repertorio verista italiano (estilo realista-naturalista) de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y principios del XX, por su intensidad dramática, con escenas genialmente impactantes como el "Te Deum" del Coro mixto y el Barón Scarpia del final del primer acto, y por albergar algunas de las arias más bellas y emocionantes del repertorio, como el "Vissi d'arte" de la protagonista femenina Floria Tosca, del segundo acto, o el "e lucevan le stelle" del protagonista masculino Mario Cavaradossi, en el tercer acto y último de la obra.
El argumento combina amor, intriga, violencia, pasión y muerte. Junto con Madama Butterfly y La Bohème, integra el trío de óperas más célebres de Puccini.
La acción transcurre en Roma, el 14 de junio de 1800, cuando Napoleón vence a los austríacos comandados por el general Michael von Melas, en la batalla de Marengo.
