About the event 'Opera House: Tosca in S.Giovanni Evangelista'
Giacomo Puccini's "Tosca" will be performed in the charming atmosphere of the School of S. Giovanni Evangelista in Venice.
The opera in three acts was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on January 14, 1900. Tosca begins on an imposing, quasi-tragic note, much darker than the opening pages of Puccini's earlier operas. However, the composer takes care to introduce the Sacristan, a basso buffo, for comic relief. Puccini was always very careful to include well-defined minor characters. The Sacristan's banter with Mario gradually leads to the aria Recondita armonia.
This piece requires vocal intensity and flexibility, together with depth of interpretation from the tenor, and is enriched by the Sacristan's countermelody.
Indulge in this treasure of Italy's cultural heritage in Venice!
