Neil Shicoff is a splendid tenor, still. If you consider that a goat like Licitra sings at the Met, well...

I also saw Shicoff during this run...I didn't see Millo, instead, Tosca was Doina Dimitriu. It was my first time hearing him live and I was stunned at the squillo and brightness of his voice! I had expected it to be so much darker of a sound, probably because of recordings in the past.

@HMW nobody can transpose a note arbitrarily in the middle of an opera... the whole scene would have to be transposed. It is a Bb and that is what he sings...
It is strange you should say something as ignorant, when you obviously do not know the score or possibly you do not read music at all (otherwise you would know or compare the intonation with other recordings on Youtube)
God bless the freedom of speach but I am sure freedom of speech does not ban a little bit of thinking...

Man what crap conducting
-
Listen to australian -albanian Agim Hushi, the real Victoria is there!!!
-
No-- not transposed down, sung in original key as it should be. I was at the performance and he was terrific. Millo sang two of them with him and it was a night of big voices also with Ramey.
-
@HMW It is Bb.
-
@HMW The Ricordi score has a Bb. Make sure you do your research. ;-)
-
@GermanOperaSinger Actually an A sharp, but yeah, basically a Bb.
-
This is NOT transposed down.
-
@GermanOperaSinger yep...it's actually an f#major chord (A#)....same thing...:)
-
@parabat7 It's not a B flat. It's an A sharp, which makes a huge difference harmonically.
It's a D-sharp major broken chord, and a B-flat wouldn't belong there.

No I believe the original score has Bb.

Actually, the way he approaches the top note reminds me slightly of Carreras' approach. It doesn't sound very supported but apparently it is...wheras Carreras' didn't sound supported because it wasn't...interesting.
