https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G341HC0hp8
A famous singer lives only for art and love. But when she finds herself caught in a web of politics, corruption, lies and lust, she is forced to make a terrible choice. Puccini’s timeless opera never ceases to provoke great emotions. Directed by Barbara Wysocka, this new production by Polish National Opera is set in 1970s Rome, a time of escalating political violence, street clashes between rightists, leftists and riot police, bomb attacks, unexplained murders and kidnappings for ransom.
