One of the most performed and recorded operas of all time, this intense drama revolves around lust, revenge, and betrayal. Reprinted from the authoritative full-score edition published shortly after the opera's 1900 premiere.

In addition to Tosca, Italian composer Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) created La Boheme, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, and other beloved operas. He was the most popular opera composer in the world at the time of his death, and his works remain standards of the repertoire.
