Puccini: Tosca (Arena di Verona)(2006)

Puccini: Tosca (Arena di Verona) Synopsis

Puccini’s melodrama about a volatile diva, a sadistic police chief, and an idealistic artist has offended and thrilled audiences for more than a century. Critics, for their part, have often had problems with Tosca’s rather grungy subject matter, the directness and intensity of its score, and the crowd-pleasing dramatic opportunities it provides for its lead roles. But these same aspects have also made Tosca one of a handful of iconic works that seem to represent opera in the public imagination.

Puccini: Tosca (Arena di Verona) (2006) is a music and drama film directed by Hugo De Ana, released on July 1, 2006 with a runtime of 1h 59m. It stars Fiorenza Cedolins, Marcelo Álvarez, Ruggero Raimondi and Marco Spotti.
