TOSCA TOSCA OperaUpClose Fri 20 - Sat 21 September 7.30pm Opera Theatre Royal Winchester Tickets £19 Concessions £17.50 Friends £17 Schools/Groups £12 Oliver Award-winning OperaUpClose presents Tosca By Giacomo Puccini Tosca is sensual, powerful and vulnerable. Living in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, she is the toast of the GDR elite, until her lover Cavaradossi helps a political prisoner to escape, putting Tosca at the mercy of Stasi chief Scarpia. Puccini's tautest drama is given a radical yet affectionate re-working, set in the dying days of the East German regime and stripping the story to its most essential elements. A cast of just five singers and a trio of piano, clarinet and cello bring OperaUpClose's trademark intimacy and immediacy to this tale of love, lust and the corrupting influence of power while retaining all of the emotional impact of the original. With live piano, cello and clarinet accompaniment. "Powerfully compelling…" The Stage www.kingsheadtheatre.com/operaupclose
