Tosca

25 June – 16 August 2024

A critically-acclaimed production of a high-stakes thriller with an unforgettable ending.

Love. Jealousy. Betrayal.

“Ah! Tosca.” Scarpia growls it, lust in his voice, danger in his eyes. Tosca thinks of her lover, his captive. How far will she go to save him?

Opera’s greatest thriller is a taut tale of passion and betrayal, taking place over just 24 hours in Rome. The music is sensational.

In this five-star, much acclaimed production from Opera North, director Edward Dick writes the tension large upon the stage.
