Intérprete: Russell Thomas

Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's ode to humanity, returning after an eleven-year absence, suffers from generalized acting and inconsistent musical values.

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. 

Angela Meade and Russell Thomas provide the vocal fireworks in LA Opera's staging of David Hockney's beloved production designs. 

In common with Satyagraha, the core of Mozart's Enlightenment opera is forgiveness: versatile opera director Strassberger discusses his forthcoming LA production and how he gets the best from his singers.
