La Scala's season opens with a powerful Tosca (Financial Times). Premiered in 1900 with huge success, Puccini's melodramma Tosca is one of the most dramatic thrillers in the history of opera. In this performance Riccardo Chailly conducted a magnificent orchestra and a sonorous choir (NMZ) while Anna Netrebko had sung phenomenally. She still has one of the most beautiful voices today. (Deutschlandfunk) With Francesco Meli, probably unsurpassable in this role at the moment: lyrically soft, and then again impressively expressive, and Luca Salsi also very convincing as the slick, power-conscious Scarpia (BR Klassik), La Scala has engaged the highest-calibre partners imaginable.
