Tosca (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtoska; ˈtɔska]) is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. The work, based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, La Tosca, is a melodramatic piece set in Rome in June 1800, with the Kingdom of Naples's control of Rome threatened by Napoleon's invasion of Italy. It contains depictions of torture, murder and suicide, as well as some of Puccini's best-known lyrical arias.
Puccini saw Sardou's play when it was touring Italy in 1889 and, after some vacillation, obtained the rights to turn the work into an opera in 1895. Turning the wordy French play into a succinct Italian opera took four years, during which the composer repeatedly argued with his librettists and publisher. Tosca premiered at a time of unrest in Rome, and its first performance was delayed for a day for fear of disturbances. Despite indifferent reviews from the critics, the opera was an immediate success with the public.

Here we have Maria Callas inhabiting one of her signature roles. This 1956 performance of Puccini's "Tosca" is not identified regarding location so perhaps some Callas devotee can chime in with a comment in this regard. It's another discovery from the dusty crates at YouTube channel TheMotionDevotion, in this case an unlabeled Betamax videocassette of recordings from television. Our curator could not resist the urge to upload this clip next to Patti LaBelle & Morgana King in a side-by-side tribute to the DIVA-tude that all three epitomize.

Score animation of a 1956 TV performance (3:43) of "Vissi d'arte" from Puccini's "Tosca" (Ed Sullivan Show, CBS - New York). This is Callas' best recorded "Vissi d'arte". I love her '56 Tosca most of all. Such intensity, will never be seen again. ------------------------------------- Tosca. Act 2: Scarpia's apartment in the Palazzo Farnese. Baron Scarpia, chief of police, left with Tosca, proposes a bargain: if she gives herself to him, Cavaradossi will be freed. She is revolted, and repeatedly rejects his advances. Outside she hears the drums which announce an execution; as Scarpia awaits her decision, she sings a fervent prayer, a lyrical andante, perhaps the opera's best-known aria: Vissi d'arte ("I lived for art, I lived for love, never did I harm a living creature ... why, O Lord, w...
Digitized from the LP shown above, released in 1958 on the London label, catalogue number 5346. E lucevan le stelle ... ed olezzava la terra stridea l'uscio dell'orto ... e un passo sfiorava la rena ... Entrava ella fragrante, mi cadea fra le braccia. O! dolci baci, o languide carezze, mentr'io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore. L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato! E muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita, tanto la vita! "David Hertzberg"

Franco Corelli was 35 when he starred in the movie "Tosca" in 1956. If you listened to any other recordings of this aria (which were significantly later in his career) you will see the difference! Franco Corelli is the best Dramatic Tenor the world ever had!! Comment If you want to see the full movie (Tosca 1956)

Today's emptiness, tomorrow's dream.
An addiction, like never seen.
All is still beneath an orange moon.
Everything remains, but without you.
