In this blog, I will set out my impressions of current opera performances at the Metropolitan Opera and welcome occasional guest posts as well as comments.
Tosca by Puccini. Maria Callas, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Tito Gobbi: This 1953 recording conducted by Victor de Sabata at La Scala is likely the definitive recording of the opera. A 1964 video of the same cast at Covent Garden can be found on "You Tube."
