Tosca
Anja Harteros excels in the title role of Michael Sturmingerâs cinematic staging of Pucciniâs âToscaâ, the centrepiece of Salzburg Easter Festival. Aleksandrs AntoĆenko compellingly portrays Cavaradossi, while Ludovic TĂ©zier is a thrillingly malevolent Scarpia. Christian Thielemann leads the Staatskapelle Dresden. âToscaâ 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 âthe perfect thriller ⊠reminiscent of Scorseseâs âGoodfellasââ (Kleine Zeitung), a âfilm noirâ
