A famous singer lives only for art and love. But when she finds herself caught in a web of politics, corruption, lies and lust, she is forced to make a terrible choice. To this day, Tosca is one of the most popular and ageless operas. With its cinematographic pace, abundant leitmotifs and massive orchestrations, Puccini renewed and transcended Italian melodrama and the verismo genre. Sondra Radvanovsky, Joseph Calleja and Carlos Álvarez lead this operatic thriller in the midst of a revolution, under the direction of Paco Azorín and the baton of Nicola Luisotti.

Giuseppe Verdi's masterpiece calls for 4 great singers: one weak link and the whole may collapse. The Metropolitan Opera assembled a quartet of stars for this new production by David McVickar: Sondra Radvanovsky, Marcelo Álvarez, Dolora Zajick, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky. The opera - about mistaken identities and hair-raising bloody revenge - could hardly receive a better performance.

Alfano - Cyrano de Bergerac

While best known today for having composed the ending to Puccini's unfinished Turandot, Franco Alfano wrote some dozen operas, including Cyrano de Bergerac (1936) with a libretto by Henri Cain based on Edmond Rostand's drama of the same name. It is a moving tale of romantic misunderstanding, swashbuckling bravado and heartbreaking loyalty, in which the eloquent Cyrano feels unable to express his love for Roxane because of his famously protuberant nose except on behalf of his handsome but inarticulate friend, Christian.

Le rôle de Norma a fait éclore certaines des sopranos les plus appréciées de l'opéra. Ainsi, un nouveau chapitre de la carrière de Sondra Radvanovsky s'est ouvert lorsqu'elle l'a joué pour la première fois au Met en 2013. Elle l'a repris quatre ans plus tard, ouvrant la saison 2017-2018 dans une nouvelle production évocatrice de Sir David McVicar. Sa performance n’est rien de moins qu’un tour de force, combinant engagement dramatique et véritable bel canto, dans un équilibre entre la puissante intensité du rôle et des moments de lyrisme délicat. Dans le rôle d'Adalgisa, la jeune prêtresse tiraillée entre amour et devoir, la mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato livre une interprétation empreinte d'une grande nuance émotionnelle. Le ténor Joseph Calleja est le proconsul romain agressif Pollione. Matthew Rose est le guerrier Oroveso, père de Norma. À la tête du Met, le maestro Carlo Rizzi fait ressortir les couleurs vibrantes de la partition magistrale de Bellini.
