‘Te Deum’ – TOSCA Puccini – Teatro Real

Baritone Carlos Álvarez sings the ‘Te Deum’ from Giacomo Puccini's opera Tosca at Teatro Real Madrid.

To this day, Tosca is one of the most popular and ageless operas. With its cinematographic pace, abundant leitmotifs and massive orchestrations, Puccini renewed and transcended Italian melodrama and the verismo genre. Sondra Radvanovsky, Joseph Calleja and Carlos Álvarez lead this operatic thriller in the midst of a revolution, under the direction of Paco Azorín and the baton of Nicola Luisotti.

Oh, dear! Why will they do it? Just when you think productions can't get any sillier, another one fills one with dismay...

What was this director smoking?? The staging grew more and more bizarre, then culminated in the incredibly ridiculous final moments.

[ettoremanes]

Tutto il degrado che stiamo vivendo in un video. Si vergognino.

Tosca bellissima opera lirica, ma questo allestimento è veramente ridicolo. Basta con regie che vogliono sempre stupire. Orrendo spettacolo!

[nylonbleu]

Superbe mise en magique MAIS Qu'est ce que c'est que ces masques sur les choristes ? Mais vous êtes TOUS devenus dingues ? Chanter bâillonnés ???? Alors la... il fallait le faire ! Ça gache toute la magie....

[fabbri]

Pessima la messa in scena (da dimenticare)! Bene il tenore.

What happened with Alvarez' voice? Used to be beautiful but it seems he killed it. Scarpia is not for

Here from the tiktok with the woman saying "Amen" to hide a lover from her husband.
If you know, you know.

This is rather silly behavior from Scarpia.
