Tosca

Opéra noir brimming with tension and emotion

Kosky’s incisive direction highlights the psychological depth and dark nature of the work. The striking set is designed by Rufus Didwiszus, with costumes by Klaus Bruns and lighting design by Franck Evin. 

A world-class cast 

The title role will be sung alternately by Elena Stikhina, who previously impressed at Dutch National Opera in Madama Butterfly and Suor Angelica, and Natalya Romaniw, who makes her house debut. Tenor Joshua Guerrero returns as the passionate Cavaradossi, while baritone Gevorg Hakobyan once again embodies the terrifying Scarpia. The cast also features bass Sam Carl, baritone Tomeu Bibiloni and tenor Lucas van Lierop. Both the Chorus of Dutch National Opera and the Nieuw Amsterdams Children’s Chorus will lend their voices to Puccini’s gripping music.
