Truly great Tosca ,with three great performers
Tosca is not only one of my fave operas ever,it was my first opera. So there is a lot of love to it due to its amazing story.and music. This Tosca is suitably amazing and truly thrilling. Picture quality could have been a bit clearer,but it is decent. Act 1 and Act 3 are nicely staged,but Act 2 was a bit too gaudy for my tastes. Montserrat Caballe is a truly great Tosca and her voice fits the role of a woman Tosca is(from Puccini roles,I only know Caballe as Turandot)and her acting is truly humane and touching. Jose Carreras as Cavaradossi is suitably ardent and yet arrogant(in his Act 2 scene with Scarpia). There is a touching chemistry between him and Caballe. Juan Pons as Scarpia is suitably repellent,yet never falls into cartoony side,which is unfortunarely common with Scarpia. Overall,truly good Tosca from Nice.8/10.
