"Costume Design in Tosca by Giacomo Puccini by Adolf Hohenstein" refers to the original costumes created by the artist Adolf Hohenstein for the premiere of Giacomo Puccini's opera "Tosca." Adolf Hohenstein (1854–1928) was a German painter, illustrator, and stage designer who is often considered the father of the Italian poster art and an influential figure in the development of Italian stage design at the turn of the 20th century.

"Tosca," an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini, premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. The opera, with a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, is based on the play "La Tosca" by Victorien Sardou. It is one of the most performed operas in the repertoire, known for its dramatic narrative, powerful music, and the intense emotions it evokes.

Adolf Hohenstein's role as a costume designer for "Tosca" was integral to the visual and aesthetic presentation of the opera's first production. His designs contributed to the characterization and period authenticity, reflecting the opera's setting in Rome in June 1800. Hohenstein's work was characterized by meticulous historical research and artistic flair, which helped to create a visually cohesive and compelling production.

The costumes designed by Hohenstein for "Tosca" would have reflected the fashion of the early 19th century, with attention to the social status and personality of each character. For example, the titular character, Floria Tosca, a famous singer, would likely have been given costumes that emphasized her prominence and dramatic flair, while the costumes for the male characters, such as the painter Mario Cavaradossi and the police chief Baron Scarpia, would have denoted their respective standings and roles within the narrative.

Hohenstein's costume designs for "Tosca" not only served the practical needs of the performers but also enhanced the overall impact of the opera, contributing to its initial success and enduring popularity. His work remains an important reference for subsequent productions of "Tosca" and serves as an example of the critical role of costume design in opera.
