Tosca synopsis in 5 minutes (short story opera summary)

A short synopsis of the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. It's based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, "La Tosca" and was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900.
I left some things out of this short version of the story so you can go see Tosca the next chance you get.

I LOVE THIS!
Making opera accessible to the common layman is the only way it's going to survive the coming age.

Don’t worry about a time limit! Take as long as you need to summarize these operas because you do such a fun, cool job with it!😁

[gracearmstrongart]

Going to see Tosca today with no knowledge of Tosca. This video will make seeing it 100 times more amazing and enjoyable, absolutely no doubt! ❤❤❤

It’s you and just about only you who had finally made opera accessible to me with context! So excited to be incorporating opera into my listening habits.

[LifeLovesBarbie]

Yes, please make this a continuing series! I am new to opera and I found this very entertaining and it made me buy the tickets to see Tosca.

Love it
Grew up with Opera and everytime there was one on TV I had to read the synopsis first
Would love to hear your take on Turandot

[BeatHaven]

Came here after BGT! Nice summary! 😂 Love opera man! And Tosca’s got a lot of beautiful arias: “Recondita Armonia (Tenor), Te Deum (Bass), Vissi D’arte (Soprano) and of course “E Lucevan Le Stelle”! Good luck for BGT! 😊

Seriously amazing concept you have going on here. I’ve never been to an Opera as I’m from small town in the south and now live overseas. Visiting NY soon and seeing Tosca as my first. I’ve watched a bunch of videos and I have a good understanding but yours has me sold on seeing this. You made this really easy to understand and relatable. It’s hard for me to imagine the emotion and humor in an Opera based in the 1800s but now I got it. You put it in my words and I’m now so excited to go to NY!!!

[SimonBoccanegra]

Your opera summaries are just as entertaining as Snoop Dogg's nature videos. Thank you for this. I've been trying to convince my children to join me at the opera. This oughta do the trick!

[bigmac]

OMG I'm dying and you are AMAZING, and normally I hate Spanish Literature and Opera for all the gruesome endings but again... You're amazing. So... 🤷‍♀️ Also, the spill(s)? Thank you for keeping it (them) in there. 🤣🤣🤣 ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[ApparentlyGoogledislikesmyname]

You are a natural, these are great! Hope you channel gets a blessing from the algorithm gods of YouTube.

[lissabelle]

I'm going to see it at the Metropolitan Opera for my birthday on the 9th. Thank you for this because I definitely would have been confused! I'm super excited to sit through 3 hours of this now, haha :-) Not being sarcastic, I really am!

[RomeoSierraAlpha]

You: yeah, I'm drinking wine, you don't know this opera [Tosca] like i do

Anyone who knows: You're gonna need a bigger bottle! 😂 🍷

[shirakabayoruku]

Oh, I love Tosca. I "play" the part of Roberti since December at the Opera of Bonn in Germany. There are different Stars performing. And for me it is a great experience that moves me deep inside. (I hope my English is not that bad)

[TENCUHTLI]

Lovely 😂! This is the way to sell a play! Thanks man!
