TOSCA - from the Royal Opera House
Rialto Theatre, Limassol
27 March - 1830
One of the best loved operas of all times broadcast from the Royal Opera House. Giacomo Puccini’s masterpiece (libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica) is a political thriller of drama, pathos and twists. Painter and republican sympathizer Mario Cavaradossi, Tosca’s lover, is arrested, due to his political views, by Baron Scarpia, chief of police. Scarpia agrees to set Cavaradossi free only if Tosca spends the night with him. Tosca yields to pressure but eventually kills the baron.
