Puccini: Tosca 4K 2001

A musical by Benoît Jacquot from 2001 with Angela Gheorghiu, Roberto Alagna, Ruggero Raimondi.

Oper légère means a voice, a piano, an opera and provides an easy introduction to the work. Angela Gheorghiu not only presents all parts of an opera with a supple soprano, but she also explains the historical and musical connections to Giacomo Puccini's grandiose drama in a refreshingly relaxed manner sometimes not so casual.

Only the cretin claims that it is named after the perfume of the same name. ""With Tosca came tenderness,"" says the fragrance, the opera, however, is not only fatal for Tosca. This thriller is about power and violence, politics and private happiness, love, and death. Questions arise about the nature of people in extreme situations: How does the artist relate to reality? And how does society relate to art? Hardly any game is more closely interwoven with the unforgettable Maria Callas. ""Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore"" - dedicated to the Assoluta.

A deadly game of beauty and power now on 4K Blu-ray and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1.
