The impetuous Tosca stirs up all desires. Will the beautiful singer with a fiery temperament fall into the trap of the manipulations of Scarpia, the police chief who covets her and wishes to destroy her lover, the painter Cavaradossi? All the exaltation and lyricism of Puccini’s opera are found in these three extracts from modern adaptations.
Claude Bessy and Michel Rayne dance to music by Richard Strauss.
Pascale Roberts, François Maistre and Christian Toma play an extract from Sardou’s text.
Gabriel Bacquier, Christiane Stoutzman, and Bernard Murraciole sing a scene from Puccini’s opera
