Tosca is a melodrama of love, betrayal, and death set in the revolutionary unrest of 1800. The story concerns the opera singer Floria Tosca who tries to save her lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi, from the brutal chief of police, Scarpia. Through-composed and expertly orchestrated it contains some of Puccini's best-known lyrical arias and remains one of his most performed operas.
