In war-torn Rome, 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?
A star-studded cast includes soprano Anna Netrebko performing the role of Tosca, tenor Freddie De
Tommaso as Cavaradossi, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley as Scarpia, with Music Director of The
Royal Opera Jakub Hruša conducting his first new production in the role. An alternative, modern-day
Rome provides the backdrop for Oliver Mears’ unmissable, gripping new production of Puccini’s
thriller.
