In war-torn Rome, Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi live for each other and for their art. But when Cavaradossi helps an escaped prisoner, the lovers make a deadly enemy in the form of Baron Scarpia, Chief of Police. At the mercy of Scarpia’s twisted desires, Tosca is forced to make a horrific bargain: sleeping with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Can she find a way out?
A star-studded cast includes soprano Anna Netrebko performing the role of Tosca, tenor Freddie De Tommaso as Cavaradossi, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley as Scarpia, with Music Director of The Royal Opera Jakub Hrůša conducting his first new production in the role. An alternative, modern-day Rome provides the backdrop for Oliver Mears’ unmissable, gripping new production of Puccini’s thriller.
- •The show on the 1st October will be streamed live from The Royal Opera House, London.
- •The subsequent show which takes place on 5th October is a recording.
Broadcast Event FAQs
These are events which are filmed in front of a live audience, but optimised for the big screen so it’s the next best thing to being there.
The performers on stage deliver their performances as they normally would any other night. But to make sure audiences watching in cinemas have the best seat in the house, the camera positions are tailored to capture each production and work closely with technical teams to make sure every element on stage such as lighting, hair and make-up look fantastic on the big screen.
No. Some events are broadcast live as they happen in real time, some are recorded as they happen and then screened again after the event, usually during a short theatrical window.
BBFC 'As Live' age ratings are temporary age ratings for content other than conventional films (e.g. stage or sporting events) projected in cinemas. 'As Live' ratings are based on information provided by the distributor, without the content being viewed by the BBFC prior to exhibition. They are valid for seven days after the live event.
As Live events are not live transmissions, as these sit outside the scope of UK licensing laws. Only delayed exhibition of a live event requires an As Live rating, even if the delay is only a few minutes.
Please note that As Live classifications are not advisory, they must be adhered to as with normal film certification.
