Tosca... what a masterpiece! This is the final scene from Benoît Jacquot‘s fantastic movie. Tosca still believes until the very end that her lover Mario will be shot with blank bullets, but realizing that the execution was real the only escape for her will be death. Passion, hope, doubt, drama, hysteria... it has it all! Tosca premiered on 14 January 1900 in Rome ❤️🎶 | Angela Gheorghiu

A short synopsis of the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. It's based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, "La Tosca" and was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. I left some things out of this short version of the story so you can go see Tosca the next chance you get. Music by Steve Wallace | Babatunde Hip Hopera
