Tosca - Puccini
Performed in English
Libretto by G. Giacosa and Luigi Illica
English Translation by John Gutman
Set in 1920s Italy to the backdrop of post war societal change and political turmoil, Opera in a Box’s production of Puccini’s Tosca recounts the confrontations felt by a rising women’s liberation movement, and the challenges of post-war fascism. Through the stories of Tosca, an opera singer, Cavaradossi, a painter, and Scarpia, the Chief of Police, we explore how relationship can be affected by the nature of the time.
