Tosca
Arizona OperaSunday, January 29, 2023 @ 2:00 pm
$35 – $150A political thriller set in Rome in June 1800, Tosca tells a story of passionate yet tender love, jealousy, betrayal, lust and self-sacrifice. The story’s action takes place over a span of less than 24 hours during the Napoleonic wars and amid great political unrest, making it one of the most dramatic thrill rides in opera.
The plot centers on three main characters: Rome’s diva Floria Tosca, her lover Mario Cavaradossi, and the corrupt chief of police, Baron Scarpia. Scarpia has long lusted after Tosca, and when he suspects Cavaradossi of assisting an escaped political prisoner, he seizes the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: He will manipulate Tosca into revealing the prisoner’s hiding place and Cavaradossi’s involvement, so he can have Tosca for himself. When Cavaradossi is captured, Scarpia offers Tosca a horrific bargain – she must give herself to Scarpia, or her lover is killed. What will she choose, and who will survive?
This performance features Caitlin Gotimer, John Matthew Myers and Weston Hurt; Daniela Candillari conducts.
