The highly acclaimed Russian State Opera returns to the Marina Theatre with the world’s best loved opera.

Tosca, one of the most emotionally engaging and popular operas of all time, will be performed live on stage at 7.30pm on Tuesday, September 19.

Scarpia has sentenced Cavaradossi to death. The officer is prepared to let Cavaradossi go if Tosca is willing to spend the night with Scarpia…

Producer Alexej Ignatow, of Amande Concerts Ltd, who has co-ordinated the UK tour, said: “We are constantly on the lookout for new challenges, to ensure that our opera and ballet audiences get a chance to experience a wide spectrum of various classic pieces.

“No experience is needed to enjoy these classics. Our sets and costume designs, as well as the informative programmes make the productions very accessible and most of all, enjoyable.
