Tosca è un'opera lirica in tre atti di Giacomo Puccini, su libretto di Giuseppe Giacosa e Luigi Illica, una breve storia d'amore e di morte. Nella Roma del 1800 dopo il fallimento della Repubblica Romana, quando lo Stato Pontificio sta catturando i rappresentanti ed i sostenitori della Repubblica, le vite del pittore Mario Cavaradossi e della sua amante Tosca, incrociano Cesare Angelotti, patriota fuggito dalle carceri del Papa. Sulle tracce del fuggiasco c'è il capo della polizia pontificia, barone Scampia che, innamorato di Tosca, approfitta della situazione per conquistare la donna. L'opera drammatica finisce come deve finire una tragedia: muore il fuggiasco, muore il cattivo Scampia per mano di Tosca, muore il pittore ed infine muore Tosca suicida (Aonia edizioni).

Kaum hatte Puccini im Jahre 1900 die Arbeit an der Tosca zu Ende gebracht und deren erste Vorstellungen miterlebt, als in London bei einem Theaterbesuch ein möglicher neuer Opernstoff seine Aufmerksamkeit erregte: gegeben wurde das Bühnenstück "Madame Butterfly. Tragödie einer Japanerin." Anfang des Jahres 1904 war die Vertonung dieses Sujets abgeschlossen - das Werk fiel bei der Uraufführung durch. Puccini gestaltete es daraufhin zu einem Dreiakter um, und in dieser Form trat die Oper von der unglücklichen Japanerin ihren Siegeszug an.Dieses Buch enthält neben dem italienischen Textbuch und der gebräuchlichen deutschen Übersetzung einführende Kommentare von Kurt Pahlen. Er begleitet das musikalische und das äußere wie innere dramatische Geschehen der Oper mit Hinweisen zu kompositorischer Struktur und Sinnzusammenhang. Eine kurze Inhaltsangabe und ein Abriss der Entstehungsgeschichte stellen das Werk in einen Zusammenhang mit dem Gesamtschaffen des Komponisten und seiner Biographie und bieten eine umfassende, reich illustrierte Einführung.

Madame Butterfly is a three-act opera written by the Italian composer Giacomo Puccini in 1906. The story is based on a short story by John Luther Long and a play by David Belasco.

However, Pinkerton leaves Japan and Butterfly behind, only to return three years later with his American wife. Devastated by Pinkerton's betrayal, Butterfly ultimately takes her own life. The opera is known for its beautiful music, including the famous aria ""Un bel di vedremo"" and the duet ""Viene la sera.""

Puccinis Oper "Tosca" lag ein Bühnenstück von Victorien Sardou zu Grunde, das der Komponist in Mailand mit der berühmten Schauspielerin Sarah Bernhardt gesehen hatte. Es handelt sich teilweise um eine historische Begebenheit zur Zeit Napoleons, um die Tragödie der namhaften Sängerin Floria Tosca. Nach vielen Bemühungen gelang es Puccini, Sardous Zustimmung für eine Oper mit diesem Inhalt zu bekommen, und 1900 fand in Rom die Uraufführung von "Tosca" statt - mit einem überwältigenden Erfolg für den Komponisten.Kurt Pahlen stellt dem italienischen Text die an deutschen Bühnen vielfach verwendete Übertragung des Librettos gegenüber und begleitet das musikalische und das äußere und innere dramatische Geschehen der Oper mit Hinweisen zu kompositorischer Struktur und Sinnzusammenhang. Eine kurze Inhaltsangabe, ein Abriss der Entstehungsgeschichte, Ausführungen zu Stoff und Geschichte stellen das Werk in einen Zusammenhang mit dem Gesamtschaffen des Komponisten und seiner Biographie und bieten eine umfassende, reich illustrierte Einführung.
