The tragedy of the singer Floria Tosca, of her beloved Mario Cavaradossi and of the perfidious Baron Scarpia, a masterpiece of Italian melodrama, is a classic of the Sassari theater, where it premiered in 1956 (but the opera had nevertheless been proposed at the Politeama from the very beginning. of the century). After an initial mistrust of the critics, Tosca - performed for the first time at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome in 1900 - became a fixture in theaters all over the world. It is taken from La Tosca by Victorien Sardou, a work much appreciated by Giuseppe Verdi who would have liked to set it to music before Puccini.
