by Italian Opera Taormina
Tosca
an Opera by Giacomo Puccini
Teatro Nazarena of Taormina on Sunday 5th October 2025 @9:15pm
An exclusive format with a selection of the most famous opera arias, performed by internationally acclaimed artists and accompanied by the piano.
This special performance will feature professional opera singers in full costume, accompanied live on piano, offering a powerful and intimate interpretation of one of the most passionate works in the italian operatic tradition.
A remarkable cast will perform one of Puccini’s most beloved masterpieces:
Flora Tosca – Marianna Cappellani
Cavaradossi – Moisés Molin
Scarpia – Graziano D’Urso
Silvia Di Falco – art director
Clara Intilisano – assistant to art director
Piano – Maestro Antonio Gennaro
Set in 19th-century Rome during a time of political turmoil, Tosca follows the doomed love between opera singer Floria Tosca and revolutionary artist Mario Cavaradossi. Their romance is threatened by the cruel and manipulative police chief Baron Scarpia, whose lust for Tosca sets a tragic chain of events in motion. The opera builds to an unforgettable climax, featuring some of Puccini’s most iconic arias, including “Vissi d’arte,” “Recondita armonia,” and “E lucevan le stelle.
