Beautifully done glamour shots in the murder scene. I watched this right after the same scenes by Olivero, Tebaldi, and Callas. I should say that Gheorghiu's version was more beautiful than those three. Other than beauty, I felt a little bit of anger from her, and that's all. From Olivero, Callas, and even Tebaldi, I felt more complex emotions like fear, guilt, desparation, etc. Gheorghiu's version is good if somebody wants to experience something simple and beautiful.
Best action scene in all opera. Die bad guy. I wish my girlfriend would kill my bad guys. Convert you friends to opera with Tosca, a woman not to be messed with. And of course, the music is the best.
When I listen to this music, everytime I realise that the only one that will live forever is the composer, great Puccini, whoever sings the roles... But of course the marvellous singing talent of Angela Gheorghiu can not be denied.
@AmyLeeKaulitz yes but Romanian is very similar to Italian actually it comes from the Latin languages as even the name Romania comes from the name Roma. Romanians for the most part can speak Italian without any traces of foreign accent
Angela Cherorghiu has finally come into her own! Her first recordings were very beautiful but they lacked 'her' persona. Now the added maturity has brought out the beauty of her voice.
Excellent..Has there been a better writer of soprano roles than Puccini..?? I admire Verdi,Rossini etc for their undoubted talent and virtuosity but most of their stuff leaves me cold.."
@Neanderthalgirl Excuse, but exactly who are YOU to be talking to people so rudely? It just shows how stupid and ill educated you are if you have to resort to such language. I've seen your comments on other videos. You don't intemidate anybody, you just come across as an idiot. So if you have nothing sensible to say, just go away and don't say anything.
@Neanderthalgirl '50% of women are superfluous'? What are you talking about?.... Oh of course it's just your usual rubbish. And I'm obviously more intelligent than you are because I can make a comment about something I dislike without resorting to bad language and rudeness.
One of the best ever TOSCA'S I have ever seen in my life time. Callas was great in her time, now its Angela's time. Acting makes it more believable, so so glad they made this into a film. If history doesn't betray me, but I think the church was behind the politics of its day as it is today as well.
Uh... Acting??? Seriously? I don't mean to offend, but... that's not acting. That's heinous garbage. She's far to over the top with that face. I imagine it's hard going from stage, where everything is far away, to a camera where everything is just so close up. I don't think she does a good job of carrying this off here. Though, I bet it's more riveting in the opera house.
I will say, her Amelia in Simon Boccanegra a few years back at the Met was outstanding.
This is Opera, everything is meant to be over acted, so that the audience can understand the story even when they do not understand the language being sung.
@TiaunaElise I'm afraid tehre is good acting and excellent acting. She might be an excellent singer but she is not in the same league as an actress. An excellent actress will be look overacted because she must look natural.
@TiaunaElise nothing should ever be over acted... over emphasized and larger gestures, perhaps. This wasn't filmed for the stage though and that's the problem with it. They're two different mediums and she just looks silly.
The best interpretation I've seen! Never realized before that a woman stabbing a rapist is violation/penetration in reverse. Instead of being repulsed by her action Angela's Tosca actually relishes the moment (she seems even to be twisting the knife a bit), and screaming "SCARPIA!!" into his face. A great job of acting - she realizes she's done Rome a favor by killing this bastard. Wonderful! It also helps that Angela is quite beautiful to boot. BRAVO
ammiro Raimondi anche in questo ruolo ma in questa scena noto che è caduto in un errore abbastanza grossolano (che lo facciano certi berciatori tedeschi o inglesi): quando dice 'Tosca finalmente mia' si avventa come un volgare stupratore e dimentica di essere un barone anche raffinato e insinuante ...la didascalia in partitura prescrive .. 'ma l'accento voluttuoso si cambia in un grido terribile'..., in questo punto invece registi e cantanti sorvolano verso il truculento...
ecco una prova di cosa siamo diventati noi italiani... gli stranieri fanno commenti costruttivi, e noi invece? i soliti quaqquaraqquà... e finitela di fare paragoni assurdi tra generi completamente diversi! l'hard rock ha la sua collocazione tra la musica come la ha la lirica. io personalmente adoro l'Opera e la Tosca è grande. Adoro questa scena e la sua musica. Grazie PUCCINI!
Sarebbe un'ottima idea smetterla con questi battibecchi.
Sincerity mi sembra un po' troppo permalosa e presuntuosetta; ma ricordo che ha cominciato Pallasfan a dire che la Tosca è robaccia. Se era una provocazione, troppi ci sono cascati; se lo pensava davvero, si perde qualche cosa di bello e insulta inutilmente quelli che, come me, amano la musica lirica (e quella sinfonica, da camera, eccetera).
Io non amo la lirica, però rispetto chi la apprezza. Tuttavia non sopporto la gente che si sente parte di una elite solo perchè la segue. Per Sincerity112: non serve presentare le proprie (dubbie) credenziali per sostenere una discussione con altre persone, sei parecchio sfigata.
Penso sia anche moderatamente sfigato chi etichetta come "merda" ciò di cui non sa nulla.
Però è indubbio che sei proprio una CAGNA: deficiente con la i !!! altro che errori di battitura...
Sincerity oltre a studiare pianoforte, solfeggio, lirica "drammatica d'agilità" e altre menate varie, trovi il tempo di studiare un pochino l'italiano? (Ps: quando con "e" intendi il verbo essere indicativo presente terza persona singolare, si scrive "è" con l'accento, ma non ce la possiamo prendere più di tanto con te, del resto sarai troppo impegnata con la lirica per aprire i libri)
Ragazzi inchiniamoci tutti davanti alla principessa che studia solfeggio, pianoforte, canto lirico e parla 3 lingue.

Non ho MAI detto che è da sfigati suonare il piano, né tantomeno studiare lirica. Ho detto che era meglio se tacevi riferendomi ai tuoi errori di battitura (curiosi per un pianista) che insisti inspiegabilmente a commettere! E poi fai tanto l'aristocratica dicendo di essere un SOPRANO DRAMMATICO D'AGILITA' (cosa che nessuno ti ha MAI chiesto) mentre le tue volgari e gratuite offese dimostrano la tua appartenenza al più rozzo ed insignificante sottoproletariato urbano.
1) non sono gli errori di battitura che determinano la tua ignoranza, ma i tuoi banali insulti; 2) non ho detto che questa musica è da sfigati, e nemmeno cantarla (la parola "sfigato" l'hai usata solo tu); 3) l'associazione "nessuno te l'ha chiesto --> perché la gente dovrebbe volersi vedere il mio video" non ha alcun senso; 4) non ho detto (e anche questo non ha nessun senso) che gli errori di battitura ti fanno suonare peggio il piano. Magari cerchiamo di capire qualcosa prima di rispondere?
parla una che studia canto lirico, ha suonato pianoforte e adora la lirica ma che ama anche il gothic metal.
Sono tipi di musica bellissimi entrambi, poi ognuno decide cosa preferisce... a me piacciono entrambi per esempio. Il metal è musica comunque, la lirica è prestigiosa ma non per questo è meglio di altri generi.. parla un soprano come te
E' praticamente da una vita che mi sento dire frasi come quella che ha detto Lei...i nervi ormai scattano in automatico, Mi scuso per la mia reazione....
She is terrific. No doubt. But (and please no dirty comments) she's only great because we all see Maria Callas inside of her. She is invoking the Muse of Maria Callas, it's Callas she's trying to be like! It almost feels as if she's not playing the character Tosca but Maria Callas performingTosca. I wish Zefelli had cast Gheorghiu for the Callas Forever movie! She plays Callas really well!
Well, she is similar to her, in some ways, but she is not totally imitating Callas in her interpretation. There are similar bits, but also bits which are quite different. Despite those facts, her voice is different to Callas'. Her vibrato (do you call it like that) is very different to the one Callas used. - At least, that's what I think. ^^
La scene delle candele è la più affascinante dell'opera...e qui dov'è??? Sullo spartito Puccini ha dato indicazioni precise!!! Come vi permettete!!!!!! Viva l'edizione De Sabata Gobbi Callas Di Stefano, ARTISTI VERI!!!!!!
Ciao! Prima di tutto piacere di conoscerti! Io non sono un esperto di canto o di regia, sono un semplice pianista che va pazzo per la grande musica e questa è più che grande musica. Questa scena è opera di un genio e io ho provato a fare tutta una mia analisi tonale e motivica e ogni volta che la ascolto mi viene la pelle d'oca, e non tollero che produzioni di questo tipo (produzioni business ovviamente) facciano questi scempi. Per soldi non si rispetta neanche più Puccini, che schifo!
My dears, those who are fighting who between Maria Callas or Angela Gheroghiu is the best. It is like comparing Jane Austen with J. K. Rowling. Jane Austen has his own period of glory, J.K. Rowling his one. The same thing is with Angela and Maria. What it is important is the fact that both are glorious and both sing for us to forget about this world where everyone is perfect and judge the others because he/she is not like him. However, i love both this women and others. Have a good day!
Oh that's a little bit disapponting: they didn't put Tosca's most famous gesture: crossing Sacrpia's arms on his chest and puttnig candles aside his head... silent actions expressing forgiveness... This scene was even used as the Opera wallpaper!
Very emotional and impressive anyway (even though we say "Scarpìa" in Italian, instead of "Scàrpia" ;))
en el minuto 3:00 se produce unas de las mas gloriosas sinfonias de la opera de todos los tiempos....un mar de armonia que eleva el alma y la hace vibrar
This is Opera, good opera, but cannot stand near the interpetation of Maria Callas, which is no more Opera, but life lived at the highest level of consciousness.
actually, they use the Te Deum...one of scarpia's arias, with a really cool stage if i'm correct. I heard that the scene at the opera house was the most expensive for the film makers to shoot. You are correct that it is from the same opera though.
Ok, Gheorghiu is WAY too full of herself to be convincing. She's more of a diva than the character of Tosca warrants. She's obviously not suffering -- she's living it up.
We all know Callas is legend,an immortal operatic icon,that she lived the character on stage like no other soprano.
But do you really think all opera lovers should accept her as "best ever",as the one&only soprano? That,for that matter, her position among all time greats is unquestionable?Dont think so,her voice lacks the beauty,in stark contrast to her overall performance.Gheorghiu is simply the best soprano we have today for the italian&french operas,and simply Callas isnt superior to her.
Unfortunately she is full of herself, thinks like a chicken, and has no respect for anybody. Yesterday in an interview at Romanian Tv when asked "what would have you told Callas if you'd have met her?" caressing her hair she answered "nothing more than to any other colleague". And further commented "what Callas drama are you talking about? We all have our problems". Not even the fact that Callas died at age 54 was a drama for Gheorghiu. No comment except for "shame on her!"
@AliciaDupres,whether or not she is full of herself cant be said with certainty after some interview on the TV.Alot of people, both the experts on opera on one side and total ignorants on other side are not being objective,often they are being Callas fanatics instead of fans.And if Gheorghiu conduct during that interview wasnt very polite-I can understand her: There are far too many questions asked to contemporary sopranos regarding Callas.Dont forget Callas demeanor was often awweful&vain
I have the complete DVD of this and I adore both her singing and acting of Tosca role! She looks and acts like a real Floria Tosca! She is incredibly convincing, and I don't think this is not a real operatic acting, it is! And hers IS A REAL TOSCA! Everyone has the right to express his own opinion, but this is mine! And of course, Raimondi is A REAL SCARPIA too! S to Alagna's Cavaradossi, his acting and looks are superb, but the role requires a bit heavier, dramatic voice.
This seems to me more of a movie interpretation than Opera ?! Not beleivable and a bit too slow acting almost static - may be too modern for an old art form ?
NO, this is not it - I woudn't compare to Callas' sublime version with Gobb. This reminds me a bit of Fanny's acting in "Callas forever".
i totally agree with you Walkure, Now opera is and old art that needs to be respect to the realm form. now to compare this movie to a live opera or to Callas is well impossible.. oh and one more point they are not singing live its a playback....
she made it look so easy. most chicks don't have the guts to just up and shank some dude out of the blue like that (Callas made it more believable. her Tosca was much more nervous about the situation). Tosca was a singer, not a kill bill chick. oh well, that only made it more bad ass. good job angela.
Is it wrong to say this is my absolute favorite part of this opera? Stab him again, Tosca! Of course I would never resort to murder if I were in her place, but he was such a nasty individual...
Nice! Raimondi great as ever and Gheorghiu is the living proof that we lack really great soprano's nowadays. She cannot be compared with Freni or Callas. Nevertheless, nice. A 8 plus.
I thought this was pretty bland. And no amount of pretending to act (and close miking) can hide the fact that Gheorghiu is a lyric soprano who falls short of vocal heft for Tosca which requires at least a spinto voice to do it justice.
that's one gorgeous woman! not to mention an amazingly dramatic performance. her low notes at the end aren't nearly as good as Callas's were but then again most mezzos can't hit low notes the way Callas did.
it is the best performer in this opera ,angela gheorghiu is the best tosca, the emotion of see this opera whit angela gheorghiu is beautiful.
esta es la mejor actuasion in esta opera, angela georghiu is la mejor tosca, la emosion de ver esta opera con angela gheorghiu es hermoso, maravilloso.
Angela has a great voice that she doesn t know how to use... For once look in the eyes of vitalius Scarpia and face your fears... for once don't turn your back on him... for once show us that you are afraid... show us that you are attracted to Scarpia and you fear to be unfaithful to your love Cavaradossi...
But we're not talking about Ghiorghui. we're talking about a naive afraid and madly in love floria tosca. her love is about to die. she has signed a contract with the devil. she cannot fall into his trap. killing scarpia is a consequence.a sequence of rage and fear on her life on her integrity and most importantly her fear of not becoming the victim of the man who uses the vatican for his libertinage and betraying cavaradossi.
I agree with you, except that I really saw for a moment on Angela's face a certain fear before she brought herself to murder him. But the violent and desperate detest she demonstrated is marvellously and remarkably conveyed in this performance! She doesn't have to act exactly like Callas, she is a unique human being and it is all natural that she added something of her own vision of Tosca's personality.
I believe she would play a great Christine Daee.

Ho detto che era meglio se tacevi riferendomi ai tuoi errori di battitura (curiosi per un pianista) che insisti inspiegabilmente a commettere! E poi fai tanto l'aristocratica dicendo di essere un SOPRANO DRAMMATICO D'AGILITA' (cosa che nessuno ti ha MAI chiesto) mentre le tue volgari e gratuite offese dimostrano la tua appartenenza al più rozzo ed insignificante sottoproletariato urbano.

1) non sono gli errori di battitura che determinano la tua ignoranza, ma i tuoi banali insulti; 2) non ho detto che questa musica è da sfigati, e nemmeno cantarla (la parola "sfigato" l'hai usata solo tu); 3) l'associazione "nessuno te l'ha chiesto --> perché la gente dovrebbe volersi vedere il mio video" non ha alcun senso; 4) non ho detto (e anche questo non ha nessun senso) che gli errori di battitura ti fanno suonare peggio il piano. Magari cerchiamo di capire qualcosa prima di rispondere?

parla una che studia canto lirico, ha suonato pianoforte e adora la lirica ma che ama anche il gothic metal.
Sono tipi di musica bellissimi entrambi, poi ognuno decide cosa preferisce... a me piacciono entrambi per esempio. Il metal è musica comunque, la lirica è prestigiosa ma non per questo è meglio di altri generi.. parla un soprano come te

She is terrific. No doubt. But (and please no dirty comments) she's only great because we all see Maria Callas inside of her. She is invoking the Muse of Maria Callas, it's Callas she's trying to be like! It almost feels as if she's not playing the character Tosca but Maria Callas performingTosca. I wish Zefelli had cast Gheorghiu for the Callas Forever movie! She plays Callas really well!

Well, she is similar to her, in some ways, but she is not totally imitating Callas in her interpretation. There are similar bits, but also bits which are quite different. Despite those facts, her voice is different to Callas'. Her vibrato (do you call it like that) is very different to the one Callas used. - At least, that's what I think. ^^

Ciao! Prima di tutto piacere di conoscerti! Io non sono un esperto di canto o di regia, sono un semplice pianista che va pazzo per la grande musica e questa è più che grande musica. Questa scena è opera di un genio e io ho provato a fare tutta una mia analisi tonale e motivica e ogni volta che la ascolto mi viene la pelle d'oca, e non tollero che produzioni di questo tipo (produzioni business ovviamente) facciano questi scempi. Per soldi non si rispetta neanche più Puccini, che schifo!

My dears, those who are fighting who between Maria Callas or Angela Gheroghiu is the best. It is like comparing Jane Austen with J. K. Rowling. Jane Austen has his own period of glory, J.K. Rowling his one. The same thing is with Angela and Maria. What it is important is the fact that both are glorious and both sing for us to forget about this world where everyone is perfect and judge the others because he/she is not like him. However, i love both this women and others. Have a good day!

Oh that's a little bit disapponting: they didn't put Tosca's most famous gesture: crossing Sacrpia's arms on his chest and puttnig candles aside his head... silent actions expressing forgiveness... This scene was even used as the Opera wallpaper!
Very emotional and impressive anyway (even though we say "Scarpìa" in Italian, instead of "Scàrpia" ;))

actually, they use the Te Deum...one of scarpia's arias, with a really cool stage if i'm correct. I heard that the scene at the opera house was the most expensive for the film makers to shoot. You are correct that it is from the same opera though.

Ok, Gheorghiu is WAY too full of herself to be convincing. She's more of a diva than the character of Tosca warrants. She's obviously not suffering -- she's living it up.

We all know Callas is legend,an immortal operatic icon,that she lived the character on stage like no other soprano.
But do you really think all opera lovers should accept her as "best ever",as the one&only soprano? That,for that matter, her position among all time greats is unquestionable?Dont think so,her voice lacks the beauty,in stark contrast to her overall performance.Gheorghiu is simply the best soprano we have today for the italian&french operas,and simply Callas isnt superior to her.

Unfortunately she is full of herself, thinks like a chicken, and has no respect for anybody. Yesterday in an interview at Romanian Tv when asked "what would have you told Callas if you'd have met her?" caressing her hair she answered "nothing more than to any other colleague". And further commented "what Callas drama are you talking about? We all have our problems". Not even the fact that Callas died at age 54 was a drama for Gheorghiu. No comment except for "shame on her!"

@AliciaDupres,whether or not she is full of herself cant be said with certainty after some interview on the TV.Alot of people, both the experts on opera on one side and total ignorants on other side are not being objective,often they are being Callas fanatics instead of fans.And if Gheorghiu conduct during that interview wasnt very polite-I can understand her: There are far too many questions asked to contemporary sopranos regarding Callas.Dont forget Callas demeanor was often awweful&vain

I have the complete DVD of this and I adore both her singing and acting of Tosca role! She looks and acts like a real Floria Tosca! She is incredibly convincing, and I don't think this is not a real operatic acting, it is! And hers IS A REAL TOSCA! Everyone has the right to express his own opinion, but this is mine! And of course, Raimondi is A REAL SCARPIA too! S to Alagna's Cavaradossi, his acting and looks are superb, but the role requires a bit heavier, dramatic voice.

This seems to me more of a movie interpretation than Opera ?! Not beleivable and a bit too slow acting almost static - may be too modern for an old art form ?

she made it look so easy. most chicks don't have the guts to just up and shank some dude out of the blue like that (Callas made it more believable. her Tosca was much more nervous about the situation). Tosca was a singer, not a kill bill chick. oh well, that only made it more bad ass. good job angela.

I thought this was pretty bland. And no amount of pretending to act (and close miking) can hide the fact that Gheorghiu is a lyric soprano who falls short of vocal heft for Tosca which requires at least a spinto voice to do it justice.

Angela has a great voice that she doesn t know how to use... For once look in the eyes of vitalius Scarpia and face your fears... for once don't turn your back on him... for once show us that you are afraid... show us that you are attracted to Scarpia and you fear to be unfaithful to your love Cavaradossi...
for once !

That was Maria's version. Angela is an over person. She's s not afraid, she is hating him. That's why she's killing him so in cold blood!
Anakinjan 4 years ago
But we're not talking about Ghiorghui. we're talking about a naive afraid and madly in love floria tosca. her love is about to die. she has signed a contract with the devil. she cannot fall into his trap. killing scarpia is a consequence.a sequence of rage and fear on her life on her integrity and most importantly her fear of not becoming the victim of the man who uses the vatican for his libertinage and betraying cavaradossi.

I agree with you, except that I really saw for a moment on Angela's face a certain fear before she brought herself to murder him. But the violent and desperate detest she demonstrated is marvellously and remarkably conveyed in this performance! She doesn't have to act exactly like Callas, she is a unique human being and it is all natural that she added something of her own vision of Tosca's personality.
