Synopsis:

Performed in the actual Roman settings described in the libretto. Moreover, the scenes take place at the appropriate times of day. Rome, June 1800. Floria Tosca is a celebrated opera singer, better known as La Tosca. Her lover is Mario Cavaradossi, a young artist and Bomapartist sympathizer. When the latter helps Angelotti, the leader of the opposition, to escape from prison and hides him in La Tosca's home, he antagonizes Baron Scarpia, the ruthless chief of police, all the more as his love for Tosca is unrequited.

Opera icon Placido Domingo stars alongside Catherine Malfitano, Ruggero Raimondi, Giacomo Prestia, and Giorgio Gatti in this production of Puccini's Tosca. The familiar opera follows the tragic story of Tosca and Cavaradossi, her lover. When he hides a political prisoner and is subsequently tortured for it, Tosca promises herself to the chief of police in order to save Cavaradossi from execution.

Specially edited screening of the transmission of TOSCA on 11/07/92 when each act took place at the time and location specified by the composer.
