Puccini: Tosca from Wiener Staatsoper

In the revived, legendary historic staging of Margarethe Wallmann, Piotr Beczała celebrated his acclaimed role debut as Cavaradossi and is “overwhelming”.

Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca is one of the most dramatic thrillers in the history of opera. In the revived, legendary historic staging of Margarethe Wallmann, Piotr Beczała (“one of the extraordinary singers of our time”, Der Standard) celebrated his acclaimed role debut as Cavaradossi and is “overwhelming” (Wiener Zeitung). At his side is Karine Babajanyan as Primadonna Floria Tosca, making her house debut at the Vienna State Opera and Carlos Álvarez, whose “Scarpia is an ambassador of evil like no other.” (Wiener Zeitung). Marco Armiliato conducts the brilliantly playing Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper with love for detail and full of energy - a performance of unique and lasting quality!
