Tosca - Schedule, Program & Tickets

A story of love, jealousy, violence, and intrigue meets breathtaking sounds: With Giacomo Puccini's melodrama Tosca, one of the world's most beloved operas returns in 2026 to the St. Margarethen quarry, the most beautiful open-air stage in Europe. Rome around 1800. The singer Floria Tosca and the painter Mario Cavaradossi fall madly in love, but the unscrupulous police chief Scarpia is determined to ruin their happiness and does everything he can to manipulate Tosca to win her over. When Cavaradossi offers sanctuary to the wanted political prisoner Angelotti, Scarpia exploits his power and presents Tosca with a choice: either she swears her eternal love to him or he will ensure Cavaradossi's end. Will Tosca and her lover be able to overcome the shadows of fate?

Giacomo Puccini delivers a musical rollercoaster of emotions—from Tosca's poignant "Vissi d'arte" to Cavaradossi's powerful "Recondita armonia" to Scarpia's somber aria "Ha più forte sapore." A firework of emotions with gripping melodies that resonate perfectly in the rocky landscape of the St. Margarethen quarry.
