James Levine conducts Tosca, Puccini's melodrama about a jealous diva, a cruel police chief, and an idealistic artist. The setting is Rome on June 17, 1800 as the powerful city awaits news about a battle in Northern Italy. The career-defining title role will be shared between Sonya Yoncheva and Anna Netrebko while Vittorio Grigolo and Marcelo Alvarez alternate in the role of Tosca's artist lover, Cavaradossi. Sir Bryn Terfel, Michael Volle, and Zeljko Lucic perform as the depraved police chief Scarpia.
