In 'Anna Bolena,' the namesake character is beheaded.

In 'Tosca,' the namesake character, a singer, jumps to death after the death of his lover. 'Aida' shows an enslaved Ethiopian princess, killing herself after falling in love with Radames, an Egyptian military commander, who also kills himself for his love of Aida while Amneris the Egypt's King's daughter, who also loves Radames, prays for him. The three works ― 'Aida,' 'Tosca' and 'Anna Bolena' ― center on the tragic lives of women who either kill themselves or are killed in pursuit of their true love. The festival, which will take place in Seoul Arts Center and the National Theater of Korea, will present three classical operas ― 'Aida' (May 7 to 9), 'Tosca' (May 21 to 23) and 'Anna Bolena' (May 29 and 30) at the Opera Theater of the Seoul Arts Center while showcasing 'The Telephone & The Medium' (May 28 to 30) and 'Una Furtiva Lagrima' (A Furtive Tear, June 4 to 6) at the Jayu Theater and '' at the National Theater of Korea. The 12th Korea Opera Festival will be held from May 7 to June 6 and will showcase six works on women's life in two theaters in Seoul.
