[i]Tosca (pronounced: /‘t̪oska/) is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, based on Victorien Sardou's drama, La Tosca. The work premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on January 14, 1900.
One of the most dramatic of operas, dismissed by musicologist Joseph Kerman as a "shabby little shocker",[1] Tosca is a staple of the standard operatic repertoire and appears as number 8 on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America.[2][/i]
