Salzburg: Tosca

Зальцбург: Тоска

Anja Harteros excels in the title role of Michael Sturminger’s cinematic staging of Puccini’s “Tosca”, the centrepiece of Salzburg Easter Festival. Aleksandrs Antonenko compellingly portrays Cavaradossi, while Ludovic Tézier is a thrillingly malevolent Scarpia. Christian Thielemann leads the Staatskapelle Dresden. “Tosca” is a political thriller with a heart-breaking love story that gives a vivid account of the harassment of artists, political persecution, torture and arbitrary executions. In Salzburg it is set in the Mafiosi world of modern day Rome and is “the perfect thriller... reminiscent of Scorsese’s ‘Goodfellas’” (Kleine Zeitung), a “film noir” (FAZ).

Salzburger Festspiele

Three times a year – at Easter, at Whitsun, and in summer – Salzburg is transformed: the Music arrives. It echoes through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town (Altstadt), in historic theatres, churches, and concert halls. It gathers the most renowned performers, directors, conductors, and critics. And, of course, the audience from all over the world. Because there is no other festival like it: the Salzburg Festival lures with bold, unique opera productions and stirs an irresistible desire to see it all! →
