The tour will be double cast. Tosca will be played by Laura Mitchell and Paula Sides. Cavaradossi will be played by Alexander James Edwards and Samuel Sakker, and Scarpia will be played by Craig Smith (Simon Boccanegra, and ETO favourite, Andrew Slater.

It will be sung in Italian with English surtitles.

A spokesman said: “Puccini’s Tosca is one of the world’s best-loved operas, brimming with lust, corruption and intrigue.

“When the firebrand revolutionary Cavaradossi is imprisoned, Tosca is faced with an impossible choice: submitting to the desires of the sadistic chief of police, or letting her lover be executed.”
