  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

Whose spine doesn’t tingle to the opening chords of this glorious melodrama? The great Russian composer Shostakovich said of Puccini: “He wrote marvellous operas but dreadful music”. Lucky for us Puccini never pretended to do anything else. Towards the end of his life he said God had touched him with His little finger and said “Write only for the theatre” and so he did. Puccini has been responsible for more real, and yet theatrical ‘heart on the sleeve’ emotion than any other operatic composer. And his Tosca is the opera that conquered the world. This passionate story of lust, revenge and sacrifice has become one of the most loved operas in the repertoire. Tosca is the fire that burns throughout this musical thriller. She is the ultimate Diva. To bring this lady to life we are thrilled to welcome Orla Boylan, who stunned audiences in our 2013 season of The Flying Dutchman.
