The Metropolitan Opera Presents. Giacomo Puccini's Tosca. Libretto, Background, and Photos. Composed by Giacomo Puccini. 1858-1924. Amadeus. Softcover. 160 pages. Published by Amadeus Press. HL.120796. ISBN 1574674439. 6x9 inches. An idealistic artist, a celebrated opera singer, and a corrupt police chief engage in a fierce battle of wills in this tempestuous tale of passion, intrigue, cruelty, and deception. Puccini's great melodrama may be set in 1800, amid the Napoleonic wars, but the conflicts between love and loyalty, the state and the individual, and hypocrisy and principle are anything but dated. Floria Tosca, the beautiful, glamorous singer who has all Rome at her feet, is one of the iconic soprano roles in the Italian repertoire. She's caught between two men-her lover, the handsome painter Cavaradossi, who defies the law to hide a rebel friend. and the villainous Baron Scarpia, Rome's all-powerful chief of police, who will stop at nothing to crush the rebels and conquer Tosca for himself. This gripping story of torture, attempted rape, murder, suicide, and general mayhem is as thrilling and dramatic as anything seen on the operatic stage.

Die Metropolitan Opera geskenke. Giacomo Puccini se Tosca. Libretto, agtergrond, en foto's. Saamgestel deur Giacomo Puccini. 1858-1924. Amadeus. Softcover. 160 bladsye.

'N idealistiese kunstenaar, 'n gevierde opera sanger, en 'n korrupte polisiehoof betrokke te raak in 'n hewige stryd van testamente in hierdie stormagtige verhaal van passie, intrige, wreedheid en misleiding. Puccini se groot melodrama gestel word in 1800, te midde van die Napoleontiese oorloƫ, maar die konflik tussen liefde en lojaliteit, die staat en die individu, en skynheiligheid en die beginsel is niks, maar gedateer. Floria Tosca, die pragtige, glansryke sanger wat al Rome aan haar voete het, is een van die ikoniese sopraan rolle in die Italiaanse repertoire. Sy is vasgevang tussen twee mans-haar minnaar, die mooi skilder Cavaradossi, wat die wet 'n rebel vriend om weg te steek tart. en die gemeen Baron Scarpia, Rome se al-magtige hoof van die polisie, wat niks sal stuit om die rebelle te onderdruk en oorwin Tosca vir homself. Hierdie aangrypende verhaal van marteling, poging tot verkragting, moord, selfmoord, en algemene chaos is as opwindend en dramaties soos niks gesien op die opera stadium.
