Tosca, Opera Bastille, Paris: 3 September-26 November 2022

To a libretto inspired by Victorien Sardou, Giacomo Puccini wrote one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of opera. As the orchestra's expressive energy and the melodramatic force of the situations offer the main characters scenes engraved in the collective memory, Tosca strikes a chord with the world of emerging cinema. Gustavo Dudamel and Paolo Bortolameolli direct a double cast led by Saioa Hernandez and Elena Stikina, in Pierre Audi's production, which divests the work of its formal trappings to expose its tragic inner workings.
