Tosca: the diva. The falcon. Jealous, loving, romantic, betrayed, sought… doomed. Singing the sad song of the creative soul: ‘I lived for art; I lived for love’.
One production. Two Toscas.
Me being me, on hearing that Welsh National Opera had double-cast Tosca for their performances at the Wales Millennium Centre in February, I decided that the only option was to see both sopranos on offer and compare how a different principal singer affects the production as a whole. As I’m sure you can imagine the results were interesting (…positive use of that word, I promise!).
