A masterpiece of dramatic intensity, Tosca tells the gripping tale of a fiery opera diva, a ruthless police chief, and an idealistic artist caught in a tragic web of love and political intrigue.

A Stellar Cast & Riveting Production
This special screening features Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen in her highly anticipated debut as the passionate Floria Tosca. British-Italian tenor Freddie De Tommaso makes his thrilling first appearance as Cavaradossi, while baritone Quinn Kelsey delivers a chilling performance as the menacing police chief Scarpia.
Under the direction of David McVicar and the baton of Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Tosca is brought to life with a lush score and breathtaking visuals. The production captures the raw emotions and high-stakes drama that have cemented Tosca’s place as an operatic classic.
A Timeless Opera with a Rich History
Premiering in 1900 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome, Tosca is based on Victorien Sardou’s 1887 French drama La Tosca. Set against the backdrop of Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Italy in 1800, the opera’s themes of love, sacrifice, and political oppression continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. Despite its dark and intense subject matter, Tosca remains a defining work in opera, celebrated for its emotional depth and musical brilliance.
