It's based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, "La Tosca" and was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. I left some things out of this short version of the story so you can go see Tosca the next chance you get. Music by Steve Wallace | Babatunde Hip Hopera | Facebook
