RBO 2027 - Tosca

Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi live for each other and for their art. But when Cavaradossi helps
an escaped prisoner, the lovers make a deadly enemy in the form of Baron Scarpia, Chief of Police. At
the mercy of Scarpia’s twisted desires, Tosca is forced to make a horrific bargain: sleeping with the
man she hates, in order to save the man she loves. Can she find a way out?
Oliver Mears’s acclaimed production returns, setting Puccini’s operatic thriller in a contemporary,
war-torn Rome. Daniel Oren conducts Aleksandra Kurzak, who returns to the title role, joined by
Saimir Pirgu as Cavaradossi and Christopher Maltman as Baron Scarpia.
