Just like that, summer break is over and Opera Apéro is back with some fresh drama for your ears. On this episode, I talk to my friend and fellow Sagittarian, Shaurya (he/him) about Giacomo Puccini's famous stunner opera Tosca. This romantic tragedy tells the story of Roman opera singer Floria Tosca, her lover Cavaradossi, and the plot twists that pull them apart on the eve of Napoleon's invasion of Rome. Thats right: we also learn a page or two of Italian history. We discuss everything that makes Tosca a brilliant character, the parallels between opera and Bollywood, and plot twists - why we love them and when we're sick of them.
Let me know which plot twists surprised you and which you saw coming. Get in touch on Instagram @opera.apero or on Twitter @OperaApero.
