New Zealand Opera's production of Puccini's 'Tosca'

Puccini's Tosca is renowned for its arias and, of course, its passion and the New Zealand opera, known for its contemporary productions, is bringing this story of lust and power to the stage - but with a twist - in this production, the melodramatic masterpiece has been shifted from the Napoleanic era - and brought closer to our own time, with the opera set in the period immediately following World War Two.
