The Teatru tal-Opra Aurora would like to announce that tickets for the forthcoming production of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca, this October 15th 2011, are now on sale. The theatre said that opera ticket prices have remained unchanged, as compared to previous years, at €70, €60 and €45, with a 10% reduction on tickets bought until August 22nd.

Speaking of a love-driven artist, a celebrated singer, and a corrupt police chief, Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca is entirely timeless. Stirred by political intrigue, intimidation and official hypocrisy, this melodrama, set by Victorien Sardou in 1800 and premiered a century later, can be easily and validly be transferred to any time, any where, any how.

Tosca follows Bizet’s Carmen at the Aurora; an acclaimed production which was well received by a record opera-attendance which filled Malta’s largest opera house beyond capacity. It returns for the 3rd time at the Aurora theatre, after its Gozo premiere in 1978 and again in 1996.

For many, Tosca is Puccini’s best opera. The very instant the curtain lifts, the music erupts, never to let up with its melodic flights and dramatic intensity. With this new production, the Aurora Opera House is set to embrace the very heart of Tosca, its music.

In view of this, the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora is announcing a 10% reduction on early-paid tickets until the 22nd August. (Box office is closed on Sunday 14th and Monday 15th August).

Tickets are now on sale at €70, €60 and €45 from the Aurora box office. Patrons who have prebooked online or by telephone will be informed in detail on how to proceed to confirm their bookings. Those who are interested, are kindly requested to call the box office on (+356) 21559452 or via email info@leone.org.mt.

Tosca’s production team has already confirmed that resident conductor Colin Attard will lead the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. Scenery and artistic direction will once again entrusted to Novella Tabili whose key input in last year’s Carmen received strong critical acclaim. The main cast together with the other household names in the production team are to be announced shortly as the last names are in the process of being confirmed.

Tosca, an opera in 3 acts, will be presented at the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora in Victoria, on Saturday, the15th of October 2011, under the distinguished patronage of H. E. Dr George Abela, President of Malta. The curtain raises at 7.30pm. Further information can be obtained from www.teatruaurora.com.
