Description Patrick Nolan’s critically acclaimed Tosca tours Queensland in 2020.

Often described as the greatest opera of them all, Tosca embraces the grand themes of the human spirit brought to life by the Italian master, Giacomo Puccini.

Set in 1970s Italy, step back to a world of iconic style and lush glamour at a time of dramatic political and social change.

Tosca, a famous opera singer, is devoted to the painter Cavaradossi but Scarpia, the tyrannical Chief of Police, has his own plans for her. What ensues is a gripping tale of lust, betrayal and cold-blooded murder that careens at breaknec
