ABOUT THE EVENT

The Deutsche Oper Berlin presents Giacomo Puccini's "Tosca', in a production by Boleslaw Barlog.

Tosca is the story of an absorbing triangular relationship centering on a strong female character. Scarpia, Tosca, and Cavaradossi, in their different ways, all insist on their personal freedom to act as they please - Scarpia as a condition of his claim to power, Cavaradossi in his rebellious urge to bring about change and Tosca as an expression of a plain, unlimited love. Yet all end up paying the ultimate price for this freedom. Puccini's musical statement is as brutal as it is tender, as intelligent as it is sentimental, as precise as it is dreamy.
