Set in Rome on the morning of June 17, 1800, through dawn of the following day, Puccini’s melodrama about a volatile diva, a sadistic police chief, and an idealistic artist has offended and thrilled audiences for more than a century. Tosca, one of a handful of iconic works that seem to represent opera in the public imagination, follows the people of Rome who are awaiting news of the Battle of Marengo in northern Italy, which will decide the fate of their symbolically powerful city.

Extraordinary soprano Lise Davidsen stars 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 Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the electrifying score, which features some of Puccini’s most memorable melodies.
