Baritone Josep-Ramon Olivé performs in Puccini’s “Tosca” this month and is involved in the exciting chamber opera premiere of “Diàlegs de Tirant e Carmesina”

Josep-Ramon Olivé takes over the role of "Sciarrone" in Puccini’s “Tosca” with the Orquestra Simfònica at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, Spain this month.

Set in Rome during the 19th century, Tosca is about a political thriller centering around Rome’s diva Floria Tosca, her lover Mario Cavaradossi and the corrupt Police chief Baron Scarpia who wants to gain Tosca for himself and uses all horrific tricks to achieve his goal.

Starting with a very successful first performance last Sunday, the performance can be seen from 11 to 28 June. Tickets are still available here!

In the meantime, Josep-Ramon is involved in rehearsals for the Castell de Peralada Festival’s world premiere of the new chamber opera “Diàlegs de Tirant e Carmesina” by composer Joan Magrané and playwright Marc Rosich.

The opera, based on a medieval novel by Joanot Martorell focuses on the relationship between the two protagonists Tirant (Josep‐Ramon Olivé) and Carmesina (Isabella Gaudí).
In addition, two opposing figures, Pleasure-of-My-Life and the Placid Widow (both played by Anna Alàs Jové), will also appear on stage creating a counterpoint to the couple.
