This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the legendary Maria Callas. Paul will delve into the archives throughout the year. Tonight, he brings us Puccini’s Tosca. Maria Callas is Floria Tosca, Guiseppe de Stefano is Mario Cavaradossi, Tito Gobbi is Scarpia, Franco Calabrese is Cesare Angelotti, Angelo Mercuriali is Spoletta, Melchiorre Luide is Il sagrestano, Dario Caselli is Sciarrone and Alvaro Cordova is Un Pastore. The Chorus and Orchestra of La Scala Milan is conducted by Victor de Sabata.
