A true opera icon 🎵 Puccini's Tosca was performed for the first time at the Royal Opera House on this day in 1900. In the 123 years since, we've staged Tosca more than 250 times with some of the greatest singers in history taking on the lead role. Not bad for an opera infamously decried by one early critic as a 'shabby little shocker'! Stream Jonathan Kent's classic production with a 14-day trial ▶️ roh.org.uk/stream | Royal Ballet And Opera

A short synopsis of the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. It's based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, "La Tosca" and was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. I left some things out of this short version of the story so you can go see Tosca the next chance you get. Music by Steve Wallace | Babatunde Hip Hopera
