Movie Review: Kabaivanska's Tosca in an interesting movie
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1976, Gianfranco de Bosio shot this film in locations in Rome. Many may think that the style here is a bit exaggerated, with strong colours and sterotypic gestures from the actors - but I think that all that is part of the right aesthetics of what is in origine grand-guignol. The fact that we are watching the actual places where the event of the story take place is also very endearing and Bartoletti, aided by the excellent New Philharmonia Orchestra, gives a competent account of Puccini's score. However, the main interest here is that the incredibly neglected Raina Kabaivanska is taking the title role. Not only she is in excellent voice and copes with the extreme difficulties of the role with no effort, but also it is a sensational voice - uniquely bright and powerful with unbelievably floating pianissimi, while also dealing with the most outspoken moments with good taste and dramatic engagement. She also looks gorgeous. Domingo is also in fresh and young voice - he's only a bit chubby here. Milnes, as the rest of the team, is in great voice and goes for a totally evil Scarpia, with a made-up nose that makes him look quite mean!
