When soprano Sondra Radvanovsky and tenor Brian Jadge starred as the passionate lovers of Puccini’s verismo melodrama during the 2021–22 season, The New York Times raved “Tosca Catches Fire at the Met.” With the company’s Music Director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, on the podium, the stunning pair thrilled audiences as the title diva and her revolutionary lover—memorable portrayals captured in this Saturday Matinee Radio Broadcast. And as the malevolent Baron Scarpia, veteran baritone George Gagnidze completed the principal trio, making a chilling impression in his most-performed Met role.
