Performer: Pier Giorgio Morandi

It may be on its 663rd outing, but Margarethe Wallmann's Tosca is a classic for a reason, as proved in this outstanding performance at the Wiener Staatsoper. 

This revival of the company’s 2019 Weimar-inspired staging of Verdi’s heartbreaking masterpiece is distinguished by stylish singing. 

Undeterred by the weather, an enthusiastic audience greeted an al fresco Tosca of international star quality.
