Aria
Puccini's Tosca is among the most tragic heroines in opera, and the aria Vissi d'arte, sung just before she stabs her evil persecutor Scarpia, is the most memorable moment. The role immortalised by Maria Callas is constantly rejuvenated in new performances. But how does a great operatic moment like that make its impact? Peggy Reynolds talks to Toscas Josephine Barstow and Janice Cairns , director Jonathan Miller and conductor Mark Elder about the interpretation of Vissi d'arte from 1900 to
Earl's Court 1991.
