Story of Tosca by Giacomo Puccini
Tosca
The opera is set in Rome in 1800 and was premiered in 1900 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. The plot is fictitious, but is based on historical events from the war for the Roman Papal States. The opera in 3 acts is about the consul Cesare Angelotti, who was imprisoned in Castel Sant’Angelo. Thanks to the help of his friend Cavaradossi, he was able to escape and found hiding place in Cavaradossi’s villa. Tosca, Cavaradossi’s lover, however, became jealous.
The police chief Baron Scarpia had Angelotti searched for and his friend Cavaradossi tortured, but Cavaradossi did not want to betray his friend. Under this pressure, Tosca breaks down and reveals Angelotti’s hiding place, who then commits suicide.
To save her lover, who has since been sentenced to death, Tosca sells herself to the police chief Scarpia. When Scarpia has signed the letter of safe conduct for Cavaradossi, Tosca stabs the police chief Scarpia to escape with Cavaradossi.
The opera ends tragically for all the main actors: Cavaradossi, who was only supposed to be executed for show, is shot. Horrified, Tosca discovers that Sciarpa has betrayed her. In the meantime, the stabbed Sciarpa has been found, whereupon Tosca throws herself from the Castel Sant’Angelo.
