reviewed Tosca's Rome: The Play and the Opera in Historical Perspective on May 29, 2013 Tosca's Rome: The Play and the Opera in Historical Perspective
Delightful book -- great for reading before or during a Roman vacation. She compares Puccini's opera to the French play by Sardou on which it was based, and both with the real Rome of 1800, when the opera takes place. Lively writing, fascinating research. When he was working on Tosca, Puccini spent a night sleeping on the upper level of Castel Sant'Angelo so he could accurately incorporate the Roman churchbells at dawn into the opening of the final act. The great bell of St. Peter's rings an E natural!
