Opera "Tosca" has opened on 1 July.
"Tosca" has opened on the 1st of July.
To close our 20th anniversary season, Italian director Antonello MADAU-DIAZ's highly popular production of Puccini's Tosca returns to the New National Theatre, Tokyo.
The opera is full of vocal highlights including Cavaradossi's ardent romanza "Recondita armonia", Tosca's heart-felt prayer "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" and Cavaradossi's farewell song, "E lucevan le stelle", and Puccini's music maintains the dramatic tension right to the climactic final scene.
In her house debut, acclaimed soprano Catherine NAGLESTAD sings Tosca, a role she has performed in many of the world's leading opera houses including Wiener Staatsoper, Bayerische Staatsoper, the Royal Opera Covent Garden and Opera de Paris. Spanish tenor Jorge de LEÓN returns to reprise the role of Cavaradossi for which he won highly praise in 2015. The villain Scarpia is played by charismatic Italian baritone Claudio SGURA, who has made this role his specialty. Leading the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra is the fast-rising conductor Lorenzo VIOTTI.
