Set in Rome in 1800, Puccini’s tragic opera Tosca tells the story of the passionate singer Floria Tosca and her fight to rescue her lover, Cavaradossi, from the clutches of the brutal chief of police, Scarpia. Soprano Anna Netrebko (“the best Floria Tosca of her generation”) takes the title role in Margarethe Wallmann’s classic 1958 production, filmed live at the Wiener Staatsoper in December 2020. She is joined on stage by tenor Yusif Eyvazov, as Cavaradossi, and bass-baritone Wolfgang Koch as Scarpia, while Bertrand de Billy is at the helm of the Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper.
