Met Opera
Giacomo Puccini
Tosca. Super cast : Sondra Radvanovsky, Brian Jagde, Bryn Terfel.
Three thrilling leading ladies trade off as the volatile diva Floria Tosca. First, soprano Aleksandra Kurzak reprises her riveting portrayal of the title role, starring alongside tenor SeokJong Baek as her revolutionary lover, Cavaradossi, and baritone George Gagnidze as the sadistic chief of police Scarpia. Later in the season, the extraordinary Lise Davidsen #tosca #brynterfel sings Tosca for her first time at the Met, alongside tenor Freddie De Tommaso in his eagerly anticipated company debut and powerhouse baritone Quinn Kelsey. And in the winter, soprano Sondra Radvanovsky and tenor Brian Jagde reunite following their acclaimed 2021 performances of the lead pair, joining forces with legendary bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, who returns to the Met after more than a decade. Maestro Xian #Zhang and Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin trade off on the podium.

Thanks for posting! I was there today, too. The three leads gave wonderful performances, as did the Orchestra. We flew in from California to see Byrn Terfel as he is one of the world's finest Scarpias and I've long wanted to see him in the role. Such an amazing actor who is also a great singer. I'm so grateful to have made this trip in order to experience these wonderful artists perform in my favorite opera TOSCA.

Personally I don't like the idea of on stage interviews post performance, it takes something away from the dramatic experience. In the same way that on Met streamed broadcasts there are on-camera interviews with the cast in the intermissions. It lets too much light in on the magic, and also means that performances become just re-enactments rather than realisations of an opera.
