Austria stages war of two Toscas
OperaPuccini’s opera opened last night at Salzburg with Anna Netrebko in the title role, opposite her husband Yusif Eyvazov and Ludovic Tézier’s Scarpia. First reviews indicate it was a dull affair.
Tonight, another Tosca opens in Graz with Kristine Opolais, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel. It will be nationally broadcast on ORF.
This is showdown time.
UPDATE: Terfel has pulled out. Ludovic Tézier flies in from Salzburg.
