“Tosca,” one of the world’s most beloved operas by Giacomo Puccini, takes the viewer on a roller coaster of emotions through love, lust, murder and political intrigue. It’s a tragic story of passion and jealousy, telling the tale of the tempestuous opera singer Floria Tosca, as she fights to save her lover Cavaradossi from the sadistic police chief Scarpia.

A richly romantic score compliments extraordinary soprano Lise Davidsen staring as the volatile diva Floria Tosca for her first time at the Met. David McVicar’s thrilling production also features tenor Freddie De Tommaso in his eagerly anticipated company debut as Tosca’s revolutionary lover, Cavaradossi, and powerhouse baritone Quinn Kelsey as the sadistic chief of police Scarpia. Maestro Xian Zhang conducts the electrifying score, which features some of Puccini’s most memorable melodies.
