Opera North
Tosca
Tue 4 November - Fri 7 November
This event has passed.
At times soaring and tender, at others harrowingly painful, Puccini’s Tosca is one of the world’s most popular operas.
Corrupt police chief Scarpia is obsessed with Tosca, the lover of artist Cavaradossi, and he is willing to go to any length to have her. When Cavaradossi is arrested and tortured for helping an escaped prisoner, Scarpia blackmails Tosca. The deal – Tosca and Cavaradossi can go free if she gives herself to him. Violated, Tosca plots her revenge, but the consequences are more terrible than she can imagine.
Conductor – Andrea Licata
Director – Christopher Alden
Sung in Italian with English titles.
‘…a thrilling roller-coaster ride.’ The Daily Telegraph
