Description
The revival of Luca Ronconi's version of Tosca at La Scala was a highly acclaimed theatrical event in March 2000 thanks to a complete new cast. La Scala's Musical Director Riccardo Muti conducted in person, and the solo roles were taken by top-calibre stars of La Scala: Maria Guleghina is one of the best dramatic sopranos of our time, while Salvatore Licitra is the shooting star in the tenore-spinto field, a field sparsely represented worldwide. The legendary Verdi baritone Leo Nucci rounded off an excellent singer ensemble, of which the most famous opera house in Italy can be justifiably proud. Muti was conducting a staged version of the Tosca for the first time in his long career and, according to the unanimous view of the critics, delivered a colourful, comprehensible reading of enthralling theatre.
