	La Tosca
		The text is based on Victorien Sardou's drama which had been produced in Paris in 1887 and seen by Puccini in Milan, in 1887, with Sarah Bernhardt as Tosca.
		Puccini immediately asked his editor Giulio Ricordi[?] to buy Sardou's rights, but these were finally bought only in 1893 to be given to Alberto Franchetti[?], another composer.
		He started working on it in 1896, after the completion of Bohème[?]; Ricordi put Giuseppe Giacosa on the side of Luigi Illica for the libretto, but Giacosa was not going to show here his best performance, and had several personal disputes with Sardou.
