VIDEO: Elena Stikhina and Freddie De Tommaso Perform the Act I Love Duet in TOSCA at The Royal Opera

The Royal Opera House has released a new video, featuring Elena Stikhina, as Floria Tosca and Freddie De Tommaso, as Cavaradossi performing the Act I Love Duet from Puccini's great opera of passion and politics.

The Royal Opera's thrilling production of Tosca is on the Main Stage and there will be Encore screenings in cinemas on 19 January 2022. Find your nearest screening at https://www.roh.org.uk/cinemas/production/48925.

Three outstanding casts bring alive the excitement of one of the best loved operas in the repertory: Puccini's Tosca. From the demonic chords with which it famously begins to the violent twist of its shock ending, the tension never lets up for a moment. 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. Jonathan Kent's taut and intense production with Paul Brown's historically charged designs wonderfully evokes the dangerous atmosphere of Rome in 1800, where love and evil come - thrillingly - face to face.
