Italian director Antonello Madau-Diaz's highly popular production of Puccini's Tosca returns to the New National Theatre Tokyo. His visually spectacular staging, especially in the "Te Deum" scene in Act I, vividly evokes the atmosphere of turn of the nineteenth century Rome where the tragedy of the doomed lovers Tosca and Cavaradossi takes place.

The opera is full of vocal highlights including Cavaradossi's ardent romanza "Recondita armonia", Tosca's heart-felt prayer "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" and Cavaradossi's farewell song, "E lucevan le stele", and Puccini's music maintains the dramatic tension right to the climactic final scene.

Featuring an impressive lineup conducted by Italian master Donato Renzetti, with Carmen Giannattasio in the role of diva Tosca, Saimir Pirgu as Cavaradossi and Dalibor Jenis as Scarpia.
