Tosca by Giacomo Puccini, from Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, 2017. Directed by Andreas Morell, conductor Sir Simon Rattle. Starring Kristine Opolais (Floria Tosca), Marcelo Álvarez (Mario Cavaradossi), Marco Vratogna (Baron Scarpia), Alexander Tsymbalyuk (Cesare Angelotti), Peter Rose (Il Sagrestano), Peter Tantsits (Spoletta), Douglas Williams (Sciarrone).

For the 2017 Easter Festival in Baden-Baden, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic are inspired by  Tosca , the best known and also the most brilliant of all Puccini's operas. And this is well deserved, as  Tosca  is not only a work of art, but also a gripping story full of suspense. With Kristine Opolais in the role of Tosca and a spectacular staging by Philipp Himmelmann, this production offers a fresh take on this beloved classical composition.
