Tosca

Album by Giacomo Puccini & Jane Eaglen & Dennis O'Neill & Gregory Yurisich & Philharmonia Orchestra & David Parry

Tosca is an opera by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini, premiered in 1900. The work is rooted in the verismo tradition and is characterised by dramatic orchestration, expansive vocal writing and tightly paced dramaturgy, representing a mature stage in Puccini's late-Romantic output and illustrating trends in early 20th-century Italian opera.
