內容簡介:
PROGRAMM INFORMATIONS:
Tosca， Giacomo Puccini’s fifth opera， was first staged at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14th January 1900. The opera initially stirred contrasting reactions among the public and critics.

Whilst the latter generally expressed strong reservations， the public appreciated the opera greatly and decreed a success that has never waned since that date.

The libretto was entrusted to Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa， back in partnership after Manon Lescaut and Boheme.

From its first appearance in 1887， Tosca had proved to be one of the most popular dramas of Victorien Sardou (1831-1908)， who had written it to suit Sarah Bernhardt.

Sardou’s theatre was essentially based on plot， enriched however by precise realistic and psychological touches.

For Puccini the encounter with Sardou’s theatre basically meant an incursion into the sphere of the ”verismo” melodrama， from which the composer had always kept his distance.

His human and musical sensitivity was， indeed， far removed from the coarseness of verismo， and， substantially， Tosca thus represented an exception.

Yet it was an exception in which all the most typical situations of verismo stood out in， we might say， concentrated form: events follow one another in a crescendo of tension and drama. Puccini was too refined a musician to insist too heavily on the more truculent aspects of the plot， and his music frequently tones down the crudity of the situations.
