Puccini’s Tosca
Sunday, January 28, 2018, 2:00 pm
COMPOSER: Giacomo Puccini
LIBRETTIST: Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica
Sung in ITALIAN
Estimated Run Time: 3 hrs 18 mins
Rivaling the splendor of Franco Zeffirelli’s set and costumes of the Napoleonic era, Sir David McVicar’s ravishing new production offers a splendid backdrop for two extraordinary sopranos sharing the title role of the jealous prima donna: Sonya Yoncheva (pictured above in La Traviata) and Anna Netrebko. Vittorio Grigolo and Marcelo Álvarez alternate in the role of Tosca’s revolutionary artist lover Cavaradossi, with Bryn Terfel, Michael Volle, and Željko Lučić as the depraved police chief Scarpia. Emmanuel Villaume will conduct.
