I love this Scarpia. The only problem I have is he's too sexy! If I was Tosca, in this production, I would have taken up Scarpia on his offer. Forget that Cavaradossi, who paints portraits of other women. ;-)

Sounds a little like Raimondi...

@winedirt Yeah, I feel the same way about Sam Ramey as Scarpia. Any Cavaradossi loolks like dogfood next to Ramey.

what a great piece - maybe a little too fast ...lol

Definitely a very interesting Scarpia, I hope he continues singing this role. See Ruggero Raimondi's Scarpia and I think you'll really feel that Tosca should choose him over Cavaraddossi.

Basta!

This baritone has a great voice for the sacristan or for Sciarrone, BUT NOT FOR SCARPIA!! Neither Wixell nor Stabile had a particularly "meaty" baritone, but they both had an instrument appropriate for Scarpia and used what they had well. This singer just does not have Scarpia in him, much less (to look at his repertory) Macbeth or Count di Luna or Rodrigue or Amonasro - OR THE VERDI REQUIEM MASS!!!!!

Very nice, good voice!

Great Scarpia! A very, very nice performance! And the singer is handsome, too. ;-)
To Mertsungu: This is a great video! Do you have video clips from the rest of this performance--like Act.2, for example? Please let me know here.
