Tosca, the opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini, with a libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica, based on the play of the same name by Victorien Sardou, arrives in Portugal. Premiered in Rome in 1900, this opera marks the high point of the so-called Italian "Giovine Scuola", a movement that transformed opera with more realistic and intensely dramatic themes. Today it is one of the greatest triumphs in the world's operatic repertoire.

The story of Tosca tells of the tragic passion between the singer Floria Tosca and the painter Mario Cavaradossi, pursued by the chief of police, Baron Scarpia. It's an unmissable story of love, jealousy, power and sacrifice, a masterpiece that fuses lyricism with cinematic suspense.
