Attend Met Opera in HD Performance of Puccini's Tosca

Seeing a Met Opera simulcast with first-class singers and often over-the-top staging is a real opportunity. And who knows, you might like it. The Metropolitan Opera is as good as it gets. And these broadcasts are a chance to see the Met at a reasonable price, in comfortable seats, and with popcorn or ice cream at your seat. Seeing a Met Opera performance live [or, in this case, "as live"] should be on everyone's bucket list. Here's a chance to check that box. And yes, English subtitles are provided on screen.

From Fathom: Extraordinary Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen stars as the passionate title diva in David McVicar’s thrilling production, transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera stage to cinemas on November 23. British-Italian tenor Freddie De Tommaso makes his eagerly anticipated company debut as Tosca’s revolutionary lover, Cavaradossi, and powerhouse American baritone Quinn Kelsey is the sadistic chief of police Scarpia. Maestro Xian Zhang conducts the electrifying score, which features some of Puccini’s most memorable melodies.

Tosca is #16 on the Talk Classical list of the 100 greatest operas of all time. Follow the link below for a synopsis of the opera:

Tosca Synopsis

Tosca has some wonderful music. Below is Placido Domingo singing the very famous E lucevan le stelle. If you don't like this aria, there's not much more I can say:

E lucevan le stelle

However, if Placido didn't convince you, there is this, also very famous:
