Tosca is an opera that has a special place in my heart,due to it being my first opera .I love its music and story. Sets and costumes of this Tosca are lovely and truly atmospheric. Shirley Verrett as Tosca is passionate and truly brilliant(she was a great Lady Macbeth too). Cornell MacNeil as Scarpia was truly great,Machiavelian,but with a human touch(definetely better in the acting department than his Rigoletto and Iago in my opinion). Luciano Pavarotti truly has amazing voice and from his Rodolfo I know he can act, he just didn't bring the arrogance of Cavaradossi in his scene with Scarpia. Overall,truly amazing Tosca and worth the watch.9/10.
