The celebrated singer Tosca lives only for art, until political intrigue suddenly disturbs her life and that of her lover, the painter Cavaradossi: When Cavaradossi hides the political refugee Angelotti, he is targeted by the unscrupulous police chief Scarpia, who has long had his eye on Tosca. To save Cavaradossi, Tosca not only has to betray Angelotti, but also give herself to Scarpia. Premiered in 1900, Puccini’s »Tosca« is practically unique in its close interweaving of political power and personal passions. The German premiere of this opera about love, jealousy, betrayal and tyranny was held in Dresden in 1902. Director Johannes Schaaf has found a timeless narrative style for his staging.

He orders Cavaradossi’s execution and hopes to force Tosca into granting him one night with her, in exchange for Cavaradossi’s release. She, however, thwarts his plans…

For more than a thousand years, composers have set the Latin mass for the dead, the requiem, to music. But Verdi’s version, first performed in 1874, is unparalleled in its moving reflection on faith, doubt, grief, and redemption.

"Tosca" is an operatic thriller about desire, betrayal, and the abuse of power. With the title character, Puccini created a figure who has dedicated her life entirely to the stage. Robert Carsen directs a subtle drama about appearance and reality, theater and truth. Under the musical direction of Carlo Rizzi, Maria Agresta and Sonya Yoncheva alternate in the title role, Charles Castronovo and Yusif Eyvazov sing Cavaradossi, and Ludovic Tézier and Gabriele Viviani portray the power-hungry Scarpia.
