Tosca - Metropolitan Opera (1978) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1978, Tosca - Metropolitan Opera is a musique film directed by Kirk Browning, running about 124 minutes.

What it’s about. A stellar cast brings Puccini’s spellbinding opera to life, seizing every opportunity to thrill the audience. Luciano Pavarotti is Cavaradossi, the painter and political revolutionary in love with the beautiful and famous singer Tosca (the riveting Shirley Verrett). Rome’s diabolical chief of police, Baron Scarpia (Cornell MacNeil), wants Tosca for himself—but he underestimates the fury of a woman in love. With torture, murder, and a suicide in its final moments, Tosca packs more dramatic punches than most other operas—and this classic telecast captures them all. James Conlon conducts in a production by the incomparable Tito Gobbi, one of the great Scarpias of the 20th century.

Who’s in it. Tosca - Metropolitan Opera stars Shirley Verrett as Floria Tosca, Luciano Pavarotti as Mario Cavaradossi, Cornell MacNeil as Scarpia and Fernando Corena as Sacristan, among others.
