Choice Tosca on blu-ray
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 August 2015Verified Purchase
This is, in my opinion, the choice Tosca on blu ray. Kaufmann is great, of course, a bad actor nonetheless but vocally unbeatible, master of the mezzo voce. This Tosca is much better than his version with Angela Georghiu, largely because Emily Magee,is all Georghiu has never and will never be: a great actress with a truly, natural voice of impressive range and nuance. Still, Olivero's Tosca will never be surpassed, needless to say, but Magee's is arguably the best Tosca nowadays. Hampson's voice is a bit too light for Scarpia, but even so he's fantastic, really disturbing. This is a production by Robert Carsen shot in Zurich, smart and beautiful as most of his, although not among his very best. Do not expect a traditional one, of course, and, if you are a fan of old-fashioned cardboard productions, you will probably think that "not even Robert Carsen can spoiil this Tosca". For me, his production is smart, an unexpected perspective on the stage,, beautiful in its simplicity, and has some surprising,, very intelligent little twists that really add to the story.

Will do for now while we wait for the new Scarpia.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2015Verified Purchase
Far better than ROH. Terfel a nightmare as I predicted. Georghiou past her best. Terfel makes faces like a demented rabbit and rolls his eyes using his hairdo as in Flying Dutchman. Terfel not watchable. Thomas Hanpson more believable but not enough heft. Better Scarpias, apart from Gobbi, are Raimondi and London.

Tosca at a bargin!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2016Verified Purchase
I love Tosca, but I really wanted to listen to Emily Magee, and was not disappointed. Probably a few issues about interpretation, and the production was dark on the TV. Exceptional cast, super price, and enjoy the singing.
