When Rome’s corrupt police chief becomes obsessed with opera singer Floria Tosca, he imprisons her lover Cavaradossi and issues a terrible ultimatum: submit to his desires or watch her beloved die.

Twists and turns abound in this thriller from Giacomo Puccini, the master of emotional storytelling. Rising soprano Olga Busuioc stars in this fast-paced, not-to-be-missed classic.
