Tosca
London Coliseum
Among the great dramatic sopranos of our time, Catherine Malfitano made an unforgettable ENO debut in 2006 as the tortured Kostelnicka in David Alden's Olivier Award-winning production of Jenůfa. Famed as one of the foremost Toscas of recent decades, she now returns to direct Puccini's ever popular opera with rising star Amanda Echalaz – already heralded as ‘the leading Tosca of her generation' (The Independent) — making her ENO debut in the role that Ms Malfitano once made her own. With one Tosca on stage and another behind the scenes, a radical new design approach and the proven Puccinian passion of Edward Gardner, ENO's Olivier Award-winning Music Director, in the pit, this new production promises to be a thrilling new take on Puccini's most powerfully theatrical opera.
