Tosca
High drama. Higher body count. And one fabulous leap.
October 10 & 12, 2025
Fully-Staged with Orchestra
Stephens Hall (Towson, MD)
Overview
“Tosca reigns supreme among operatic oeuvres.”
Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica
Power. Passion. And a diva who refuses to go quietly. Puccini’s Tosca is a gripping tale of love, jealousy, and political intrigue set against the backdrop of a turbulent Rome. The glamorous and fiercely devout opera singer Floria Tosca is caught in a deadly triangle between her lover, the idealistic painter Cavaradossi, and the sadistic chief of police, Baron Scarpia. When love and loyalty clash with tyranny and lust, the results are explosive.
Tosca returns to Opera Baltimore in a sweeping new production that promises high drama, unforgettable music, and a finale that still takes your breath away—no matter how many times you’ve seen it. With a cast of powerhouse singers and a score that hits every emotional high, Tosca is the operatic equivalent of a thriller you can’t put down.
