Giacomo Puccini’s La Tosca is reworked to adapt to local experience in Asian Tosca without losing the gripping plot and drama that have made it one of the most performed operas in North America.

Produced by the Philippine Educational Theater Association with Japan’s Black Tent Theater and Korea’s Nottle Theater, Asian Tosca narrates visions of passion, jealousy, betrayal, and revenge–emotions that are universal across cultures–but is also ripe with elements true to Asian culture, history, and heritage.

Directed by Soxie Topacio and Black Tent’s Kiritani Natsuko, PETA’s Asian Tosca aims to exceed the limit of a usual one-off project while touching the issues of art, politics, life, death, war, and gender. It runs at the PETA-Phinma Theater on August 29 and 30, with shows at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Regular tickets are P200. Student rates are P150.
