Tosca: North Wales Opera Studio
to · Llangollen & north-west England
North Wales Opera Studio presents Giacomo Puccini's opera ‘Tosca’: a dramatic political thriller set in Rome during the Napoleonic Wars. We discover a love triangle between the opera singer Floria Tosca, her painter lover Cavaradossi and the ruthless police chief, Baron Scarpia. Scarpia is on a mission to crush Cavaradossi’s friend who has escaped from prison. Corrupt and sadistic, Scarpia spies an opportunity to displace Cavaradossi... I will be repetiteur (assistant musical director) for this production. Plus, I'll be playing organ and bells in the performances. Before you try to watch me bellringing – it’s on a keyboard.
