Along with La Bohème and Madama Butterfly, Tosca is Puccini's most famous opera. First performed in Rome in 1900, the work has remained popular with audiences ever since.

The musical motifs run through the work like leitmotifs, serving to characterise the characters and situations. With its own seductive charm, the work is a flamboyant success, entirely characteristic of Puccini's musical writing.
THE STORY
