pain Nell'ora
perché Signor
rimuneri sewed perché me ne?
(At the time of sorrow
why you pay me well, Lord ?...)
is part of the claim that the singer Floria Tosca raises him to God after encountering severe crossroads of saving the man who loves killing pursued, or keep your hands clean of blood and witness the death of her lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi. The test is difficult and has to choose. The choice is seemingly easy, but carries a big sacrifice on the part of this beautiful woman who only says "as he sings the aria Vissi d'arte - lived for art and love, not hurting anyone. It is part of the irony of the innocent give evidence that they require large moods and attitudes, and Tosca is going through a difficult time like this. Choose to kill the Baron Scarpia, Cavaradossi tracker staunch and stubborn in holding to the beautiful singer. Scarpia wants to release the path that leads to her just liquidating the painter, but it will get, but beyond that causes death Tosca, this will get him to see his fierce face to steal the man she loves in the midst of a scene thought a comedy.
Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) composed Tosca (1900) and since its premiere this opera reached significance expected to have a main character determined woman as sensitive and loving the beauty of life, rendering him decide which gratitude through his song, the best of their prayers to the Almighty. Cavaradossi love, man who conceals, but Tosca has nothing to fear as the only artist finds inspiration in the deep black eyes of the singer, eyes that inspire the best pictures.
both in the way of Baron Scarpia stands that on the trail of a seditious political, Angelotti, Cavaradossi arrives to find that it assists him in his attempt to hide from law enforcement. So, after meeting Tosca, Scarpia it insists on his own, and to clear the path that leads to her use friendship as an excuse to accuse Angelotti Cavaradossi with a conspirator, to capture him and so did not find any obstacle that allows the singer to bring his passion of mind.
Indeed, Tosca and Scarpia known to have achieved no greater trial than that only thing that will ensure that you, as we heard towards the end of the first act of the opera when, in the context of a Mass and Te Deum "is committed to possessing, confessing with feverish ardor Tosca, mi fai Iddio dimenticare ( Tosca, you make sure there is a God ). Imprisoned
Cavaradossi, Scarpia gives Tosca choose between life or death of the painter: saves her life if she agrees to sleep with him. Tosca allegedly accepted, but when it is approached with the intention of touching it kills him by sticking a dagger in the heart. Thus, Tosca makes him see how fierce can be provided to defend its integrity and bridge the gap of justice, even if it cost him his blood stained hands. Stain their hands with blood, but they at any time cease to be sweet, as she sings Cavaradossi in O dolci mani arietta :
O dolci mani Mansueto and pure
or mani Ellet to pietoso bell'opre
to Carezza Fanciulli, Coglio rose to
Giunte to Prego per le sventura.
Dunque, voi fatto in sicure dall'amor
Giustizia sue sacre armi depose him? Voi
Deste morte, or man vittoriose
O dolci mani Mansueto and pure.
wavered Those same hands that caress life last Scarpia's limp body when it falls Cavaradossi shot. Tosca, thinking that this squad is illusory, go mad with horror to see the deception and revenge Scarpia further, that overcoming the distances death itself will return to finish separating the lovers. Faced with such disgrace, Tosca pay off his life with his own, jumping from the high terraces of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, but vowing to meet again face to face with Scarpia and before Almighty God that never seemed to be in favor of love Tosca and Cavaradossi by allowing an ominous outcome.
Then leave the following link that leads to the final scene of the opera, the most dramatic and moving moment of it. For this recording involved a married couple Roberto Alagna, French tenor in the role of Mario Cavaradossi and Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu as Floria Tosca. Excellent production.
