RBO cinema season 2026-27: Tosca

Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi have dedicated their lives to each other and their art.

Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi have dedicated their lives to each other and their art. But when Cavaradossi helps a fugitive convict, the lovers make police chief Baron Scarpia their enemy. Completely at the mercy of Scarpia's abnormal desires, Tosca has to make a terrible deal: sleep with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Will they find a way out of trouble?

Daniel Oren conducts Aleksandra Kurzak, who once again interprets the title role and shines in interplay with Saimir Pirgu as Cavaradossi and Christopher Maltman as Baron Scarpia.
