Tosca from the Munich Opera Festival will be presented tonight at 9 pm (Paris time) on Arte. It's the same Luc Bondi production which opened the 2009-2010 season at The Met, but the cast tonight will be different: Karita Mattila (Tosca), Jonas Kaufmann (Cavaradossi), Juha Uusitalo (Scarpia)... and maestro Fabio Luisi will conduct the excellent Bayerisches Staatsorchester.
Here is a trailer:
As you might have noticed Puccini is not my cup of tea, and recently I realized that even Tosca became tedium rich opera for my system... BUT it's Kaufmann and I'm gonna see it. Hopefully Karita will sound better than on the recent recordings.
Adrianne Pieczonka sounded gloriously last month in Berlin!
