Approved

The inspiration for the Tosca Opera was the fantastic performance of actress Sarah Bernahardt in Sardou's drama La Tosca. Puccini was so fascinated by her acting that he set out to create an opera of the same name. Finally, an impressive work was created, which premiered on January 14, 1900 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. His story is a war drama, set in Italy in 1800 during the Napoleonic battles against Austria. Although the opera is at first glance a political drama, it is in fact a struggle between love and betrayal. Despite initial concerns, Tosca was received very well: Te Deum had to be repeated at the end of the first act due to relentless applause, Toscina's main aria Vissi d´arte also had to be repeated in the second act, as well as E lucevan le stelle or a loving duet at the end. Tosca is still one of the most popular opera titles in the world today.
