Rhumbelow Theatre will screen Tosca filmed from The Royal Opera’s Dec 2021 Season in London.
The screenings take place on February 9, 2022, starting at 18h00. Running time: 3 hours and 25 minutes (including two intervals). (Venue opens 60 minutes before show for snacks/drinks)
Into the romantic world of an idealistic painter Cavaradossi and his sensuous lover Tosca, comes the malevolence of Baron Scarpia, Chief of Police, with fatal results. Elena Stikina, Bryan Hymel and Alexey Markov bring to life one of the best loved operas in The Royal Opera repertory: Puccini’s Tosca. From the demonic chords with which it famously begins to the violent twist of the opera’s shock ending, the tension never lets up for a moment. Love and evil come – thrillingly – face to face in Jonathan Kent’s intense production.
The Cast :
Elena Stikina (Floria Tosca), Bryan Hymel (Mario Cavaradossi), Alexey Markov (Baron Scarpia), Hubert Francis (Spoletta), Yuriy Yurchuk (Cesare Angelotti), Jeremy White (Sacristan) and Jihoon Kim (Sciarrone). They will be accompanied by The Royal Opera Chorus and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
