isn't Carlo Ventre Uruguayan? Did he give up his citizenship? and he is nothing close to honey voiced... not that he is bad... but who writes these info texts...?
Plus it is a wonder that no "Times" newspaper praised him, though the two Times of the the two coasts praised the other two artists.... :-) I am getting a little bit confused here... lol
Isn't it reassuring and pleasant to see a "traditional" and respectful staging, in the line of what Puccini and Sardou have wanted? Not that scandalous crap imposed by current stage directors (who think they can rule the world of opera!) , esp. in Europe! What a shame! AP is a splendid, warm and sensuous, impassionated Tosca. Thanks for posting.
From these exceprts I think the singers are all excellent. I think Pieczonka should sing more of this repertoire, Ataneli has a beautiful voice but appears rather detached from the role and character of Baron Scarpia. The tenor is clearly a passionate singer very well suited to singing this repertoire.
Wonderfull Tosca, just got back from the performance. Adrianne is a very good singer, strong voice. I have to admit, nothing extraordinary, but on the other hand to just sing Tosca very good is already something a bit extraordinary. Vissi d'arte was warm and sensual and very clear. Strong powerful voice. All and all not a waste of time. And a beautiful production. Althought I couldn't help picturing la Callas on the stage of Covent Garden. The production is very similar.
Attended the dress rehearsal~what a lovely production~love this Floria Tosca, such lush warm colors both in voice and in her character.
Scarpia was a force to deal with, he attained 'creeper' status from the beginning. Spoletta and other Scarpia gansters were awesome...I was scarred by them and I was sitting in the back row on orchestra level!!!
I highly recommend getting a ticket to see this play at the ATT Ball Park-June 5!!! FREE!!

This looks like really boring acting and staging.

One thing I didn't get though. Why did she stab him twice? Utterly extraordinary! I don't think anyone ever stabed him twice before. ;-)
