Soprano Anna Netrebko, whom the New York Times hailed as ‘magnificent’ when she made her role debut as Tosca in 2018, returns as Puccini’s explosive diva, back by popular demand. Tenor Brian Jagde is the idealistic painter Cavaradossi, and baritone Michael Volle complete the opera’s fatal love triangle as the sinister Scarpia. Bertrand de Billy conducts Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus.
