Anna Netrebko stars as Tosca

Soprano Anna Netrebko and her husband, tenor Yusif Eyvazov, appeared in an outdoor, semi-staged production of “Tosca” in Naples in July 2020.

The production by the Teatro San Carlo, one of the oldest theaters in Italy, was one of the first opera performances to take place during the coronavirus crisis. The stage was built on the Piazza del Plebiscito, the largest square in Naples. Anna Netrebko sang the title role of the singer Floria Tosca, Yusif Eyvazov, sang the role of Tosca’s lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi, and Ludovic Tézier sang the role of Baron Scarpia, the chief of police, who wants Tosca for himself.
