Tosca Torre del Lago

Tickets for Tosca at the Puccini Festival 2026

Tosca, one of Giacomo Puccini's most intense and dramatic masterpieces, returns to the Gran Teatro all'aperto Giacomo Puccini at Torre del Lago for the 72nd Puccini Festival with four performances in the summer of 2026. A drama of passion, betrayal and sacrifice set in Rome in June 1800, during the Napoleonic occupation.

The love story between the singer Floria Tosca and the painter Mario Cavaradossi collides with the cruelty of Baron Scarpia, the chief of the Roman police, in an escalating tension that culminates in one of the most devastating finales in the operatic repertoire. Immortal arias such as "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" and "E lucevan le stelle" resound beneath the summer sky of Versilia.
