I was there last night and can confirm that the reviewer was absolutely right. This was probably the best sung and most consistently cast performance of Tosca I’ve seen at the Opera House since the Kent production was premiered 16 years ago. All three principals were fantastic. Highly recommended and I do hope will get a broadcast.Originally posted by kernelbogey View Post
Tosca is due to be shown in cinemas next March but it’s not clear yet if it will be this cast."I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

There were two casts for this run of Tosca. The earlier performances featured Malin Bystrom, Gwyn Hughes Jones and Gabrielle Viviani. The last four performances feature Natalya Romaniw, Freddie de Tommaso and Erwin Schrott (there are three performances left).Originally posted by kernelbogey View Post
The Opera House web page detailing cinema showings doesn’t include information on the cast (it says ‘cast information coming soon’).
The Tosca programme doesn’t give any clues about which performances might have been filmed, but I think there’s a good chance it will be one of the Natalya, Freddie and Erwin performances. Let’s hope so."I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.
