Nick, you did it again. It's a great introduction and inside story.
Thanks
That's a very good opera "introduction". Although I know Tosca very well, there are still some parts to discover. Tosca is my favourite opera! Thanks for posting!
Amazing Videos, thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this series. Fascinating stuff.
Super! Thank you so much!
A really interesting introduction! Well done and with real passion! Thank you!
A most revealing and informative discussion. Especially for me, was the discussion of Scarpia's three chords and their appearance in the opera. The San Diego Series is very engaging in its scope. However, I find as in most treatment of opera, that little or no reference is made to the way the composer uses music to describe character relationships with reference to motive and intent. Opera is more than just dynamic. Since the genre involves human interaction, psychology is a factor. Therefore, it must include consideration of the psychodynamic element.
Care to elaborate on this Mr Hoffert?
Cheers.
Puccini himself even thought about naming this opera "Scarpia", but he did not do so, because he namend every other opera after a female person (main character or I have heard something about ex wifes?)
