The Greek National Opera stages Puccini’s Tosca at the Stavros Niarchos Hall within the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre for eight performances between 24 January and 11 February 2027. Pier Giorgio Morandi conducts. The staging is by Nikos S. Petropoulos — direction, sets and costumes — revived by Ion Kesoulis.
Petropoulos’s production sets the opera’s Rome in the years of the Second World War and renders it in black and white, a noir reading first staged at the Olympia Theatre in 2007. Sonya Yoncheva and Cellia Costea share the title role; Charles Castronovo, Arturo Chacón-Cruz and Riccardo Massi take Cavaradossi in turn, with Dimitri Platanias and Tassos Apostolou as Scarpia.
The run forms part of the company’s 2026/27 season under artistic director Giorgos Koumendakis, following the Langridge production of Queen of Spades.
