This is from a 1992 production in which Tosca was performed in the exact places of the libretto, in something close to real time. The orchestra was a few miles away.

With Mauro Buffoli as Spoletta (I like him, great Spoletta).

1992, Conductor: Zubin Mehta.

Hellfire from Disney’s The Hunchback Of Notre Dame is modeled after this song.

Raimondi's mostly a vocal Scarpia ; a tough testosterone face doesn't become a singer into a Scarpia. Gobbi's mostly dramatic intensity. Both sides, both names, both characters are unmatched as Scarpia.

3 worldwide live broadcasts from Rome on 11-12 July 1992 : 300 technicians, 27 cameras, the RAI orchestra & chorus in studio, the master control room in a helicopter. An amazing production achievement.

You know, I just had a thought. A villain (with a baritone voice) sings of his desire for a beautiful woman while a choir sings religious music in counterpoint...did Disney get the idea of "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame from this opera?

I never fail to be amazed at this gut twisting rendition of Te Deum. As mentioned before the acting is spot on. Truly dazzling

A unica coisa ruim em seu Scarpia é que nos ficamos com raiva quando Tosca o mata ,ela deveria apenas fazer lo desmaiar

I remember watching this production in the good old days when the BBC gave us operas. Transmitted at the actual times and in the actual locations it was revolutionary for the time and a magnificent performance from both the outstanding Ruggero Raimondi and Placido Domingo-both definitive in the roles they played. Finally, after many years, I have managed to get this on DVD. Raimondi is frightening as Scarpia-he oozes evil but at the same time has incredible attractiveness-a true opera bad boy. Only one Ruggero-only one Scaripa...fabulous stuff.
