Tosca is a roller coaster story of love, lust, murder and political intrigue. With Puccini‘s richly romantic score, it is one of the world’s most loved operas.

E lucevan le stelle (With the Stars Shining Brightly) is sung in Act 3 of Puccini’s Tosca by Cavaradossi, the painter in love with the lead character Tosca. He sings this aria as he wait for his death.
