Tosca (1908) was an opera production by Centralteatret, the Norwegian premiere of the opera by Giacomo Puccini (music), Giuseppe Giacosa (libretto) and Luigi Illica (libretto), after a play by Victorien Sardou.
Dagny Skarseth and Cally Monrad sang the title role.
Tosca visited The National Stage in 1910, where two performances were given.
Tosca was revived in 1912. At the time, French singer Edith de Lys sang the title role.
Tosca was revived again in 1914, with Borghild Langaard in the title role.
