Puccini’s “Tosca” from Teatro Regio di Parma streamed on Operavision on May 31
On Friday, May 31 at 7 p.m. “Tosca” from Teatro Regio in Parma will be broadcast on the operavision.eu streaming platform. The show, recorded on May 17 with subtitles in Italian and English, will be available for free viewing for 6 months.
Teatro Regio di Parma have gathered an impressive line-up of accomplished soloists – Italian audience favourites, for their new production, including Maria Josè Siri in the title role, Fabio Sartori as Cavaradossi, and Luca Salsi as Scarpia. Daniel Oren conducts Arturo Toscanini’s Filarmonica Orchestra in Parma.
Following the 1900 premiere in Rome, “Tosca” quickly established itself a staple of the operatic repertoire. The libretto tells the story of two lovers: the painter (Mario Cavaradossi) and the singer (Floria Tosca), who become embroiled in the political conflict between the fugitive (Cesare Angelotti) and the police prefect (Baron Scarpia). The greatest arias from “Tosca” include “E lucevan le stele” and “Vissi d’arte”.
From the moment the curtain rises, Puccini engages the audience with five characteristic chords that are associated with the evil of Scarpia, the infamous police prefect. His desire for Floria Tosca knows no limits.
