Puccini’s Tosca
Starring Sonya Yoncheva, Vittorio Grigolo, and Željko Lučić, conducted by Emmanuel Villaume. 

Puccini’s ultimate operatic thriller revolves around a cast of unlikely characters, including a pious opera diva, a painter and political insurgent, and a sadistic police chief. Yet somehow the scenario not only succeeds, but offers some of Puccini’s most vivid and realistic dramatic writing. Sir David McVicar’s lavish production, which premiered at the Met in 2018, recreates Rome ca. 1800 in all its splendor.
