It is impossible to imagine today’s opera repertoire without Puccini’s Tosca. When it was written in 1900, this thriller set to music caused considerable controversy due to the political figureheads involved. Only much later was the story about the deeply religious Tosca, the passionate Cavaradossi and the sadistic Scarpia interpreted as the psychological drama it was meant to be.
“Marc Albrecht, with a fabulously disposed ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra...a masterly achievement.” (Opernwelt)
Kristine Opolais is “a great, highly dramatic singing actress whose interpretation gets under the skin.” (Kurier)
“The young tenor Jonathan Tetelman stems Caravadossi with juvenile power and tenoral beam that almost bursts the dimensions of the house.” (Opernwelt)
History
Tosca premiered in 1900 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. It is one of the world’s most frequently performed operas and is known as much for its gripping drama as for its appealing score. The setting is Rome, where Tosca, a beautiful and famous singer, battles to save her lover Mario from the sadistic police chief Scarpia. The role of Tosca has been long considered a proving ground for great operatic actresses.
