About

This is Jonas Kaufmann’s Tosca debut on DVD. It features him in a key role that he is performing to great critical acclaim all over the world. Mostly Opera Magazine reviewed that he is “the undisputed leading Cavaradossi of our day” and about Emily Magee, his Tosca: “sings the part better than anyone I can imagine today”.

The passion and tragedy of Tosca are dramatically highlighted in Robert Carsen’s “theatre-within-theatre” staging of Puccini’s great opera. Emily Magee plays opposite the charismatic Jonas Kaufmann and debonair Thomas Hampson (Scarpia); together they bring a rare intensity to this famous tale of love and revenge from beyond the grave.

In the production, filmed in 2009, Paolo Carignani conducts the Orchestra of the Opernhaus Zürich.

The star cast and great reviews of the performances make this product highly desirable for any opera lover.
