I am afraid I agree with Mel C. I came to this video expecting great things from Milnes, whom I much admire, only to be gravely disappointed and unmoved. Kabaivanska is adequte, but no more than that: on balance I prefer Behrens (and I don't much like her in the role!) Domingo, as always, as Cavardossi, does a great job and the settings and decent matching of soundtrack to film do add to the overall effect. But the ideal modern 'Tosca' has yet to come: perhaps I have been spoiled by Callas/Gobbi/Pretre.

The great soprano Raina Kabaivanska is showing her unlimited talent! The REAL Opera FANS will really appreciate this video! Like Pavarotti said :"THE BEST TOSCA IN THE WORLD"

Puccini may not be Verdi or even Andrew Lloyd Webber, but he can write a good tune. Tosca has two good ones. Everything about this staging of Tosca is off kilter. The set may look great at La Scala but on your TV you just want to rush for Panasonics geomagnetic button to straighten the set. Most singers would chop off their right hand to play Scarpia. He should make your flesh creep. The audience should want to hiss as if at a Victorian melodrama. Leo Nucci plays him as if he was a randy, faded matinee idol rather than the treacherous Chief of Police. Salvatore Licitra Is unconvincing as the romantic lead. "E lucevan le stele" however is beautifully sung and helped by the semi dark staging. ... Read More:
