This new production of Tosca from Maggio Musicale Fiorentino is set in the late 1920s. Puccini’s ‘Roman Opera’ sees a city bathed in majesty but also curdled by eroticism and sadism, where sartorial elegance and pathological violence co-exist. Taking visual clues from Bernardo Bertolucci’s cinematic masterpiece, Il conformista, the cast is led by the passionate Vanessa Goikoetxea and features the magnetic Alexey Markov in the role of Scarpia. Daniele Gatti directs a performance praised for its ‘courageous and surprising’ impact.
