Performer: Germán Enrique Alcántara

Tosca is back for another run, more dimly lit than ever, but illuminated by French baritone Ludovic Tézier as a Scarpia oozing with sinister charm and ironic humour. 

Sir Mark Elder conducts his final opera performance as Musical Director of The Hallé, a rare chance to hear the original version of Verdi's middle period opera. 

The second cast of the season for Oliver Mears' new Royal Opera production augments the intelligent staging with superb singing and acting.
