5/30/2023 0 Comments Puccini opera floriaAudiences empathize with the protagonists as if they have always known them. Puccini’s passionate, expressive, and profound music brings equilibrium to the heightened pathos of the literary original and speaks directly to the listener’s heart. Caught at the very centre of a political intrigue, Tosca falls victim to the manipulations of the treacherous Scarpia and unwittingly ruins her beloved, the artist Mario Cavaradossi. She succumbs to her emotions easily, be it love, jealousy, or rage. Floria Tosca is a celebrated singer and a beautiful, passionate woman. With its rapid pace of events, the action develops like the sudden release of a spring. Giacomo Puccini took inspiration from a play written especially for Sarah Bernhardt by Victorien Sardou. It is a composition of rare beauty and emotional force. Tosca is one of the greatest achievements in the history of opera.
