From the New National Theater Opera "Tosca" (July 2018) Tosca- New National Theater Tokyo, 2018

新国立劇場オペラ『トスカ』より（2018年7月）Tosca- New National Theatre Tokyo, 2018

To close our 20th anniversary season, Italian director Antonello MADAU-DIAZ's highly popular production of Puccini's Tosca returns to the New National Theatre, Tokyo. His visually spectacular staging, especially in the "Te Deum" scene in Act I, vividly evokes the atmosphere of turn of the nineteenth century Rome where the tragedy of the doomed lovers Tosca and Cavaradossi takes place.
The opera is full of vocal highlights including Cavaradossi's ardent romanza "Recondita armonia", Tosca's heart-felt prayer "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" and Cavaradossi's farewell song, "E lucevan le stelle", and Puccini's music maintains the dramatic tension right to the climactic final scene.

In her house debut, acclaimed soprano Catherine NAGLESTAD sings Tosca, a role she has performed in many of the world's leading opera houses including Wiener Staatsoper, Bayerische Staatsoper, the Royal Opera Covent Garden and Opera de Paris. Spanish tenor Jorge de LEÓN returns to reprise the role of Cavaradossi for which he won highly praise in 2015. The villain Scarpia is played by charismatic Italian baritone Claudio SGURA, who has made this role his specialty. Leading the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra is the fast-rising conductor Lorenzo VIOTTI.
In this production of Tosca, the Chorus of the New National Theatre, Tokyo is joined by the Biwako Hall Vocal Ensemble based in Otsu City, Shiga. Furthermore, following the performances in Tokyo, the production will transfer to the Biwako Hall on July 21 (Sat) and July 22 (Sun).
