Don't see it if Something special. Can't think of reason not to see this wonderful production.
See it if If you’re game for good melodramatics from my very favorite drama Queen. Tosca’s a lot, but in fairness, love is too. One of my favs.
Don't see it if If you don’t want intense tragedies. It takes a second to get settled and pick up in exposition. It does contain gunshots.

"The orchestra sounded superb all night, precise and colorful from moment to moment, yet the score came off unevenly...The bumpy transitions in tempo meant that some orchestral phrases scattered off in random directions."

"The maestro led the orchestra in a well-balanced performance that stayed faithful to the score unless freeing the singers to set off some vocal fireworks."

"Critic's Pick!...Yet starting with the opening measures, chilling orchestral chords that represent the villainous Scarpia, this performance abounded in crackling energy, sure-paced suspense, romantic reverie and thrilling singing from Radvanovsky and Jagde."
