A short film of the Audio Visual content used for the staged opera production of Tosca this year at Clonter, intercut with live stage footage to carry the visual narrative.
Tosca is a story of passion, power and betrayal, where love burns brightly but is ultimately consumed by treachery and sacrifice, set against the political turmoil of Rome. Tosca is a full blooded drama where we witness the opera singer Floria Tosca attempting to save the life of her lover, the artist Mario Cavaradossi, from the ruthless and sadistic Baron Scarpia.
Production ran 18th - 26th July 2025.
