Ed io venivo a lui tutta dogliosa (from the opera Tosca)

Giacomo Puccini’s opera ‘Tosca’ might be described as a thriller with political overtones. Set in Rome in 1800 at a time when the Police Chief Scarpia is conducting a reign of terror, it shows its hero and heroine, the singer Floria Tosca and the painter Mario Cavaradossi, caught up in and eventually destroyed by the operations of Scarpia’s corrupt regime.

Ed io venivo a lui tutta dogliosa is an aria sung by Tosca at the end of the first act.

Arranged for chambermusic ensemble, soprano and baritone (0000/0000/Timp,Perc./Pf/Str).
