Tosca
Tosca (1976) was an opera production by The Norwegian National Opera, based on the opera by Giacomo Puccini (music), Giuseppe Giacosa (libretto) and Luigi Illica (libretto), after Victorien Sardou's play La Tosca. The production was performed in the opera's facilities in the Folketeatret building.
Per E. Fosser directed it.
Lubos Hruza designed the stage design and the costume design.
The first seasons, Tosca was performed in Norwegian, but later it was performed in the original language, Italian.
This production of Tosca was often revived, and it was part of The Norwegian National Opera's repertoire until 2008, with a total of 86 performances. A large number of singers performed the roles during these years.
