It pains me to say this,since Tosca was the first opera I ever saw onstage and close to my heart,but this production was horrendous .Sets and costumes look awful. The only fitting setting is for Act 3. The only one of the cast that impressed me was George Gagnidze as Scarpia. His singing and acting is very good. Marcelo Alvarez sang nicely as Cavaradossi,but his acting is very wooden. There is no ardour or passion of Cavaradossi. Karita Mattila as Tosca sang pretty badly and Tosca is made very passive in this production. Overall,very bad,which pains me to say it,cause I like Tosca a lot.4/10.
