  Metropolitan Opera Season

  Twenty-two operas from New York's Metropolitan Opera House

  (20) PUCCINI: Tosca, an opera in three acts

  When receiving the original libretto of Tosca Puccini demanded a whole list of changes. For example, he disliked the presence of an elaborate aria for Cavaradossi in the torture scene that grew into a full quartet. There was also a "Latin Hymn" for the painter in the last act, an aria in which he sang his farewell to life by reviewing his ideas on art, politics and other academic matters. Puccini cut out both of these, refining Tosca's dramatic timing. It was Puccini's theatrical ideas as well as his music that gave us the Tosca we know today

  Cavaradossi.................. Jonas Kaufmann

  Scarpia......................... Bryn Terfel
