Tosca

Tosca is English National Opera’s new staging of Puccini’s operatic thriller, directed by Annilese Miskimmon. Set inside a concert hall in an unnamed European state engulfed by civil conflict, the production follows celebrated singer Floria Tosca, her lover and resistance member Mario Cavaradossi, and the ruthless police chief Scarpia over one dangerous night. Puccini’s soaring score drives a story of love, political oppression, betrayal and sacrifice. Axelle Fanyo leads the cast as Tosca, with Chaz’men Williams-Ali as Cavaradossi, in a production sung in English with surtitles.
