Sparks are sure to fly as some of opera’s most electrifying artists light up Puccini’s classic thriller. Soprano Angela Gheorghiu takes on the title role of the desperate diva, opposite tenor Yusif Eyvazov as the ardent painter-revolutionary Cavaradossi. Baritone Zeljko Lucic trades off as the merciless Baron Scarpia, with Domingo Hindoyan conducting the Metropolitan Opera orchestra and chorus.
