About this event

A gripping and passionate drama about love and jealousy set against a backdrop of political intrigue. The opera about the diva Tosca, her lover, the painter Cavaradossi, and the malicious police chief Baron Scarpia, set in 1800 in Italy during the time of Napoleon’s war against Austria, is one of the most popular operas worldwide. The State Opera adaptation features Josef Svoboda’s legendary 1947 scenery, with dramatically inclined, diffusely illuminated painted sets, which in June 1999 was reproduced by Daniel Dvořák, a pupil of Svoboda’s and the then director of the State Opera Prague. The faithful copy, made by means of state-of-the-art technologies, contributed to the enormous popularity of the production. Suitable for audience from 12 years.
