Rome, 1800: as Revolution stalks the streets, two young artists find themselves fleeing for their lives. What price will they be prepared to pay for freedom – or for love? With its thrilling plot, unforgettable characters and soaring passion, Puccini’s Tosca is the ultimate romantic opera, and melodies like Vissi d’arte, Recondita armonia and E lucevan le stelle have made it one of the world’s best-loved operas for over a century.

Bryn Terfel has chosen his own Tosca and Cavaradossi with other roles coming from the Liverpool-Based European Opera Centre. Vasily Petrenko conducts, and Terfel reprises one of his supreme roles – the dangerously charismatic Baron Scarpia – in this dramatic concert performance. An unmissable climax to The Art of Bryn Terfel.
