Love. Jealousy. Betrayal. Opera's greatest thriller is a taut tale of passion and betrayal, taking place over just 24 hours in Rome. Renowned prima donna Tosca is in love with Cavaradossi, a painter and revolutionary. When the sadistic Chief of Police Scarpia tries to crush them, our heroine finds the strength to do the unspeakable. Puccini's music is sensational: from the overpowering choral power of the famous Te Deum, Tosca's ode to art 'Vissi d'arte' and the haunting tenor showpiece 'E lucevan le stelle' as Cavaradossi faces death. Tosca is the perfect first taste of opera, and one opera lovers return to again and again, to experience how music can bring great stories to emotional highs. Tosca has it all: romance, action and an unforgettable ending. Please note: this production contains depictions of violence, including violence against women, murder and suicide.

Fickle or faithful? Treacherous or true? Can love survive a test, in jest? At the urging of a cynical old philosopher, two men disguise themselves and attempt to seduce the other's lover in an elaborate ruse to win a bet. They're young, and in love, and quite sure they can prove that love will pass the test. Come along for the ride and you'll see that under a veil of feisty farce, there's a poignant drama about love, sex, fidelity and loss. The music is exquisite - Mozart at his absolute best. This performance is performed in Italian with English surtitles.
