"Te Deum" ERWIN SCHROTT SCARPIA in Tosca 2017

[@dalangie]

Experienced him today as Scarpia in Baden-Baden. It was AMAZING! His Te Deum... one of the opera moments I will remember forever. Stole completely the show! Usually I am very happy when Scarpia is dead but this time I was nearly sad🤣.

[@operamaniak81]

And Shrott gave me shivers again... Thank you for sharing it!

[@karilamminpaa8987]

A Scarpia who is also a person, a human being. Excellent !

[@timbruneau6602]

A phenomenal voice emanating from an extremely handsome man who is capable of HONEST, legitimate emotional expression. What more could one ask?

[@advocate1563]

Saw him tonight at roh - bloody wonderful. Great tone and blew the orchestra out of the pit. Extraordinarily menacing. Ironically Bryn Terfel qas in teaudience. Seen him mnt timesainging same role. Happy Christmas and thank you.

[@kiimmaritz2827]

Very attractive Scarpia...

[@photo161]

Yes, and so devoid of any deep feelings of any kind!

[@matteosollecito2448]

Wow. That was intense. He inhabits this role. great acting. He’s startled when he hears the choir behind him… because his mind was miles away.

[@cufflink44]

Agree completely. Schrott understands that as soon as the Te Deum begins, Scarpia has to look startled; that's the only way his next line, "Tosca, you make me forget God" makes any sense. He HAS forgotten God, since, as you said, his mind was miles away.

[@operafan4149]

In the presence of the consecrated host, for Catholics God , Scarpia says Tosca you make me forget God. In effect renouncing God in God's presence. He has committed the ultimate act of evil, thus Schrott is unable to make the sign of the cross. (nice theatrical touch)

[@HassanAswan]

Good observation

[@polenc7167]

Amazing! This portrayal of Scarpia is dead on. Ordinariness on the outside but evil inside. So often the evil wear a mask of acceptability. Of course, this is wonderfully inspiring and strangely uplifting. What a sense of irony Puccini had.

[@jimcadena8533]

Love his interpretation here. He's so shaken by his emotions during the Te Deum he nearly loses it

[@matteosollecito2448]

He hisses like a snake when he says “va tosca “…. As if he isn’t human. So different from all other scarpias. Wow.

[@cosimoepicoco7022]

Di tutti gli Scarpia che ho sentito,il maestro Schott regala emozioni allo stato puro.

[@operaFan-tn8ng]

Now that's what you CALL a Scarpia! Absolutely wonderful ❤

[@biancalajolo8764]

"Uno al capestro, l'altra tra le mie braccia" : potere e passione di Scarpia. Bravissimo per la resa vocale.

[@Janet-eb3ok]

Brilliant,evil, magnificent

[@sirystio]

Потрясающий голос! Одно из лучших исполнений которые я когда либо слышал!

[@zsuzsannaborosnepapista6776]

Szeretem, mindenben, köszönöm, hogy Budapesten többször láthattam. Hang, színészi teljesítmény, hitelesség ! :)

Ecco un artista!!! 😉

[@ci7446]

Erwin is such a good man that it's impossible to see him in this role

[@lilianebarbier4160]

sûrement la voix la plus belle, chaude et nuancée .

[@dckrn]

I absolutely love Erwin’s voice, great debut of Scarpia .

[@annadziarskalandau1267]

Piekny mezczyzna,piekny glos i niepowtarzalny urok osobisty. Brawo .

Genial performance querido Erwin. Un cálido saludo desde Buenos Aires

Por favor escucha a la soprano Kasondra Kazanjian, "Tu che di gel sei cinta"

[@sibylleacatos]

Pour une fois I Scarpia beau jeune et mince mais sinistre ( une rareté)!! Bavo

[@romankhadin]

Thanks for posting!

[@claudinethuet713]

Somptueuse voix de basse chantante d’Erwin Schrott, jeu scénique intéressant. Bravo Cher Monsieur Schrott.trop peu connu en Europe. ❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶🌹🎶🌹🎶🌹🎶🌹🎶

[@PaulGood-wt7mb]

Fantastic...great voice and ....Tosca got to him!

[@veramolinari6352]

Excelente personificación .Cada dia canta mejor;orgullosa de mi compatriota Uruguayo. Siempre adelante ERWIN SCHROTT!Gracias,Markus.

[@TheClaumigue]

[SCARPIA] Va, Tosca! Nel tuo cor s'annida Scarpia! Va, Tosca! È Scarpia che scioglie a volo Il falco della tua gelosia Quanta promessa nel tuo pronto sospetto! Nel tuo cor s'annida Scarpia! Va, Tosca! [CHOIR] Adjutorum nostrum in nomine Domini Qui fecit coelum et terram Sit nomen Domini benedictum Et hoc nunc et usque in saeculum [SCARPIA] A doppia mira tendo il voler Né il capo del ribelle è la più preziosa Ah, di quegli occhi vittoriosi veder la fiamma Illanguidir con spasimo d'amor Fra le mie braccia illanguidir d'amor L'uno al capestro L'altra fra le mie braccia [CHOIR] Te Deum laudamus: Te Dominum confitemur! [SCARPIA] Tosca, mi fai dimenticare Iddio! [ALL] Te aeternum Patrem omnis terra veneratur!

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

Frankly, he's so handsome any Tosca in her right mind would tap that XD

[@PatrizzaEatsApizza]

That's the point of Scarpia's character. He is irresistible and rich but evil to the core. Tosca resisted and she chosen the right moral path, she remained faithful to her loved one, that's what makes her a strong and brave character. Unfortunately most actors play an old, grumpy and ugly Scarpia, missing the entire point of this opera.

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

@@PatrizzaEatsApizza I also liked Hampson, who was not only illegally hot in the role but also sang it like he would sing Mozart. I never really realized just how many beautiful melodies Scarpia has and I listened to the De Sabata recording daily when I was a teen.

[@jakeforrest]

Evil to the core? Yet he still believes in God (he sings about how Tosca makes him forget God)

[@nickwyatt3243]

Yes. He is. I would if I was.

[@Mousy677]

@@jakeforrest it's almost as if... religion doesn't automatically make a person intrinsically good.

[@ksol1460tv]

Say, this is very intense! I think even Tito would approve of the acting on this! Where was this? It looks like they set it in the 1920s.

[@jacquelineratoarinoro4239]

Très beau Scarpia, une voix digne du Capitole de Toulouse !

[@Mr_motivation.]

A great singer and actor! The best Scarpia!

[@MIKEBURROWS1]

Very good and one of the best Scarpias I have heard but for me Raimondi will always be the greatest.

[@marioj34]

Timbre splendide ! Chapeau bas

[@malenasheytanova9967]

I always thaught the opera should have been named Scarpia instead of Tosca - just found the right one :) Bene, bene

[@nicolegueilot6449]

Très belle voix de baryton basse .bravo MR ERwin,j'aime beaucoup

[@JWP452]

Great Singing... weird production and costumes.

[@Lucas_7676]

Pienso en el malvado Scarpia de Tito Gobbi o el vozarrón de Taddei mientras escucho este cantante y no puedo más que llorar😢

[@chiquibolso2342]

Grande Erwin!! orgullo uruguayo!!

[@guillotpierre7159]

beaucoup de profondeur dans la voix de Erwin Schrott

[@SopranoLili]

Scarpia avec le visage de Mario. Surprenant!

[@ImperatrixInfernalis]

Oui!! C'est vrai !

[@odiseoreyes]

Scarpia o Tom Riddle?

[@Colibri2999]

Excelente cantante !!!

[@CarlosGomes-wi2ti]

Very impressive. I always had the impression that he is a baritone. Although his voice worked well as a bass, now it is clear that this is the best repertoire for him.

[@michaelashby1067]

He is a Baritone.......and Scarpia is scored for baritone.............not a Bass. Schrotte sings Escamillo and other baritone roles. He does not sing Don Carlos or stuff Ezio Pinza or Cesare Siepi sang......

[@vincec8218]

Shut up

[@chocolatesouljah]

@@michaelashby1067 Pinza sang South Pacific and so did Schrott, but that's musical theatre.

[@francoroselli7154]

Grandissimo Erwin...

[@vincec8218]

Per favore ascolta il soprano Kasondra Kazanjian, "Tu che di gel sei cinta"

[@СветланаКоломыйченко-ц1ж]

Дух захватывает!!! Браво, браво, браво!

[@opera888able]

Great potential, huge authority. Almost all of it is there , good luck.

[@Achbar]

This is wonderful!

[@wuaaron808]

the jawline!

[@albadunrobyn5833]

Ein guter Sänger , er wird bestimmt mit zunehmenden Alter und Bühnenerfahrung ein sehr guter scarpia . Seine Ansätze sind jetzt schon berührend . Doch bis zur Klasse eines Tito Gobbi wird es noch etwas dauern . Doch dies ist nicht schlimm ,ich bin sicher er wird die Tiefe der Emotionen und der Darstellung erreichen . Viel Glück und eine lange Laufbahn wünsche ich ihm .

[@missy87121]

magnifiscent!

[@alexgomez2]

No Gay here BUT, if this is Scarpia as good looking as he is, Mario should better be an absolute stud. Just saying!

[@roythomas5837]

This young singer has a very nice voice, which will probably grow bigger over time. I think he may be a superstar about ten years up the road.

[@vincec8218]

Please check out soprano Kasondra Kazanjian, "Tu che di gel sei cinta"

[@torrellarobert7174]

magnifique comedien superbe chanteur Shrottt n'est pas assez médiatisé dommage

[@nicolegueilot6449]

Je suis entièrement d'accord avec vous,car il a une très belle voix et c'est un bon acteur....

[@mstreepnegron]

Impresionante esta versión. Casi siempre Scarpia es viejo, deforme, feo. Schrott hace una versión diferente, bellísima voz, gran actor y además muy buena pinta. Porqué Tosca se niega a un instante con este Scarpia....??????!!!!!!! Jajajajajaja, es verdaderamente interesante. Espero que Tosca sea tan guapa como su ex mujer la Netrebko. Grande Schrott.

[@grouchomarx5609]

Reminds me George London a bit. Erwin has great potential!

[@jamestyler6933]

Wow. Erwin is amazing

[@vincec8218]

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

Un Scarpia destacat.

[@TheBaronescarpia]

what a surprise!

[@advocate1563]

Not sure he's quite there yet for this role. Saw his Faust recently - WOW! "Le Veau d'Or" was maniacal and brilliantly done.

[@paoladatodi8626]

mah... è lui che è emozionato o è la regia che vuole così il personaggio, quasi a disagio? Un modo di raffigurarlo molto diverso dal solito, con una certa fragilità, quindi più umano... Quanto alla regia, quel tavolino con tutti quegli oggetti sopra che ci fa in chiesa?

[@ReGremlin]

È il tavolo con gli utensili di Cavaradossi che sta dipingendo la Maddalena

[@giovannirobertologiudice1073]

beh...Scarpia si sente a disagio in qualche modo perché si rende conto di desiderare oltremodo Tosca appunto da "dimenticare Dio" che è un pensiero che lo pone allo stesso livello del "volteriano" Cavaradossi. Credo che sia una cosa giusta volerlo dipingere quasi spaventato dalla potenza del desiderio che sta sentendo (e preciso che raramente sono d'accordo con i registi :D)...

[@opera888able]

Impressive looking and sounding, but seemed a little stilted in the acting dept. Have another look at him in this role in a year or so. I'll bet there's a quantum leap.

[@libria75]

Very strong and the beautiful voice. In my opinion needs to have little bit more of the Italian breathing technique. But the voice is very pure and strong ! Bravo !

[@lz43p15]

Una bella sorpresa. Bella voce ma recitazione migliorabile. Non ha espresso bene libidine e ferocia fusi assieme. Dovrebbe rivedersi l'interpretazione di Milnes

[@MiniTrump]

Just crap! He should be singing the Almaviva Count. Scarpia is not for him. It's plain ridiculous.
