Puccini: Tosca - Callas, di Stefano, Gobbi (Teatro alla Scala, Milan, 1953) [Subtitles]
This recording of Puccini’s “Tosca“ from 1953, featuring Maria Callas as Floria Tosca, Tito Gobbi as Baron Scarpia, and Giuseppe di Stefano as Mario Cavaradossi, is widely considered to be one of the greatest opera recordings of all time.
Recorded with the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano conducted by Victor de Sabata, the recording captures the intensity and drama of the opera, and the performances by Callas, Gobbi, and di Stefano are highly acclaimed. Callas’s portrayal of Tosca is known for its emotional depth and intensity, and her vocal performance is considered one of the best of her career. Gobbi’s Scarpia is chilling and menacing, and di Stefano’s Cavaradossi is passionate and lyrical.
