On 22 February at 7 pm, the Fundación Excelentia presents in the Auditorio Nacional de Música of Madrid one of the most represented operas in the history of music, Tosca by Giacomo Puccini and libretto in Italian by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa.
Tosca was successfully premiered in Rome on 14 January 1900 at the Teatro Costanzi. The text of the play is based on an intense drama, La Tosca, by Victorien Sardou, presented in Paris in 1887 with the great actress Sarah Bernhardt.
This work by the master Puccini is considered one of the most representative of the Italian verista repertoire for its dramatic intensity and for containing some of the most beautiful arias in the repertoire. The plot combines love, intrigue, violence, passion and death. Along with Madama Butterfly and La Bohème, it is part of the trio of Puccini’s best-known operas.
The Sociedad Coral Excelentia de Madrid, together with the Santa Cecilia Classical Orchestra, under the direction of Kynan Johns, will be in charge of interpreting the work, along with Rebeka Lokar in the role of Tosca, Eduardo Sandoval playing Cavaradossi, and Manuel Mas as Scarpia, among many others.
