Puccini's Tosca

Operatic melodrama at its height: Puccini’s most enthralling masterpiece.

You’re in Rome. It’s 1800. The city is in chaos. The Chief of Police is corrupt, and nobody can be trusted. Tosca and her lover Cavaradossi dream of a life of art and beauty away from violence and horror, but get inexorably drawn in. Murder and mayhem ensues. The end. Puccini’s opera, composed over 100 years ago, still has the power to shock and move you to tears with its forceful and electrifying score. The CBSO’s own Kazuki Yamada leads the orchestra and an incredible roster of all-Welsh soloists including Natalya Romaniw, Sir Bryn Terfel and Gwyn Hughes Jones. Prepare to be enthralled.

This concert is generously supported by Jerry Sykes.
