Tosca, opera in three acts by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini (Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa) that premiered at the Costanzi Theatre in Rome on January 14, 1900. Based on French playwright Victorien Sardou’s popular play La Tosca (1887), the opera is about political intrigue and romance in the days of the Napoleonic wars. (See French revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.) In 1889 Puccini, barely 30 years old, set his sights on Sardou’s play, a wrenching melodrama of love and hate, passion and death, set against a backdrop of revolution. It had been written for French actress Sarah Bernhardt,
David Leventi photographs the interiors of world famous opera houses, capturing the ornate design of the architecture found inside. Using 4×5″ and 8×10″ Arca-Swiss cameras, Leventi captures each opera house from the vantage of an operatic singer, photographing the space from the very center of the stage. Leventi is not just aesthetically inspired by the opera houses he photographs, but also holds a familial connection to their structures. He is the son of two architects, and the project was started in remembrance of his grandfather Anton Gutman, a cantor trained after World War II by a famous Danish operatic tenor. More

The Markgräfliches Opernhaus - the Margravial Opera House - is a Baroque opera house in the town of Bayreuth, Germany. It is one of Europe's few surviving theaters of the period and has been extensively restored; in 2012, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Built between 1744 and 1748 according to the plans of French architect Joseph Saint-Pierre, court architect of the Hohenzollern margrave Friedrich III of Brandenburg-Bayreuth and his wife Princess Wilhelmine of Prussia. The lavish wooden interior was designed by the Bolognese Giuseppe Galli Bibiena and his son Carlo in an Italian Late Baroque style. The box theater is completely preserved in its original condition, except for the curtain which was taken by Napoleon's troops during their ill-fated march toward Russia in 1812. The theater was inaugurated on the occasion of the marriage of the margravial couple's daughter Elisabeth Friederike Sophie with Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg in 1748. Princess Wilhelmine, the older sister of the Prussian king Frederick the Great, had established the margravial theater company in 1737. In the new opera house she participated as a composer of opera works and Singspiele, as well as an actor and director. After her death in 1758, performances ceased and the building went into disuse. But more than one hundred years later, the theater's particularly deep stage attracted the notice of composer Richard Wagner who, in 1872, chose Bayreuth as a festival center and had his own Festspielhaus built there. The theater was closed from the fall of 2012 until the spring of 2018 while it underwent an extensive refurbishment. The theater's exterior is quite restrained compared to the rather outrageous interior.

This totally insane room is in the Opera, and is definitely a fine example of overendulgance. Not to mention a lot of time spent by many people to make the freaking thing.

JOHN MCLAREN: How extraordinary it is that the pretty little donkey I first saw cowering at the back of a market pen, and saved from slaughter, is now an established star of the Royal Opera House.
