Antonio Pappano takes an in-depth look at one of the most famous and dramatic of all operas – Puccini’s “Tosca”. This documentary features (and goes behind the scenes of) the recent production of “Tosca” at the Royal Opera House conducted by Pappano and starring some of the hottest names on the opera stage today – Angela Gheorghiu, Bryn Terfel and Jonas Kaufmann. Pappano examines the drama and musical language of “Tosca” and explores Puccini’s creative genius in producing one of the greatest of theatrical experiences. “Tosca” is a Roman Opera. Not only does the whole action take place in Rome, but the city itself is part of the opera’s very identity.
