Summary:
The combination of Leontyne Price and Franco Corelli sent audiences into delirium. Her rich, soaring soprano perfectly matched his ardent, romantic tenor. The year after their history-making joint debut at the Met, they were paired in Puccini's gripping tale of deception and revenge. Price, in the title role of Rome's most famous singer, is forced to deal with the nefarious Baron Scarpia, the chief of police (Cornell MacNeil) in a desperate attempt to free her lover (Corelli), imprisoned for his political beliefs. But it all goes tragically wrong.
Contents:
Ah! Finalmente!
Dammi i colori! Recondita armonia
Ma con quei cani
Eccelenza
Mario! Mario! Mario!
Or lasciami al lavoro
Qual'occhio al mondo
È buona la mia Tosca
Un tal baccano in chiesa!
Or tutto è chiaro
Ed io venivo a lui tutta dogliosa
Tre sbirri
Va, Tosca!
Tosca è un buon falco!
Ha più forte sapore
Meno male!
Ov'è Angelotti?
Sciarrone: che dice il Cavalier?
Orsù, Tosca, parlate
Floria! Vittoria! Vittoria! L'alba vindice appar
Quanto? Già. Mi dicon venal
Vissi d'arte
Vedi, le man giunte io stendo a te!
Io tenni la promessa
Or gli perdono!
Introduction
Io de' sospiri
Mario Cavaradossi? A voi
E lucevan le stelle
Ah! Franchigia a Floria Tosca
O dolci mani mansuete e pure
E non giungono
Come è lunge l'attesa!
