With Giacomo Puccini's melodrama Tosca, one of the world's most popular operas returns to the quarry St. Margarethen in 2026, on the most beautiful open-air stage in Europe. Rome around 1800. The singer Floria Tosca and the painter Mario Cavaradossi fall hopelessly in love with each other, but the ruthless police chief Scarpia has his sights set on their happiness and does everything he can to manipulate Tosca to win her for himself. When Cavaradossi offers refuge to the wanted political prisoner Angelotti, Scarpia abuses his power and gives Tosca an ultimatum: either she swears him her eternal love, or he will ensure Cavaradossi's demise. Will Tosca and her lover be able to overcome the shadows of fate?
Giacomo Puccini provides a musical roller coaster of emotions – from Tosca's moving "Vissi d’arte" to Cavaradossi's powerful "Recondita armonia" to Scarpia's dark aria "Ha più forte sapore." A fireworks display of emotions with captivating melodies that find the perfect resonance in the rocky landscape of the quarry St. Margarethen.
