Critics, for their part, have often had problems with Tosca’s rather grungy subject matter, the directness and intensity of its score, and the crowd-pleasing dramatic opportunities it provides for its lead roles. But these same aspects have made Tosca one of a handful of iconic works that seem to represent opera in the public imagination.
Tosca’s popularity is further secured by a superb and exhilarating dramatic sweep, a driving score of abundant melody and theatrical shrewdness, and a career-defining title role.
The extraordinary Lise Davidsen is volatile diva Floria Tosca, for her first time at the Met, alongside tenor Freddie De Tommaso in his eagerly anticipated company debut as her revolutionary lover Cavaradossi and powerhouse baritone Quinn Kelsey is the sadistic chief of police Scarpia.
