Vanessa Goikoetxea - Puccini: Tosca [CD]

Giacomo Puccini's much-loved opera Tosca contains some of his most famous lyrical arias. It is also a powerful and tragic theatre piece set in politically dangerous times, featuring moments of courage and romantic tenderness. The expressive force of it's narrative and the power of Puccini's strikingly inventive score has made it one of the most frequently staged operas of all time. Daniele Gatti conducts this live performance from Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, with a cast acclaimed for it's impressive vocal and dramatic characterisation.
