Tosca

The splendour of Rome. The devastation of war. Puccini’s operatic thriller returns in an epic new production.  

A pale hand with red-painted nails and a silver bracelet reaches towards a marble wall with dark veins running through it. A streak of red veins, resembling blood, runs down the wall towards the hand, blending with the natural veins in the marble. The shadow of the hand is cast on the wall, adding a dramatic effect. The hand belongs to the character playing Tosca in Olive Mears’s production of Tosca.
