TOSCA - Long Story Short

[@abk8445]

Mia is a wonderful, sweet and passionate story teller. She does a fascinating performance for making the long story short. She must prepare "Long Story Short" for all operaVision opera videos.

I'm not an opera fan and have been gifted a ticket for Tosca tonight. I wasn't looking forward to it but this video will greatly help my enjoyment and understanding of the opera. Thank you!

[@kellicoffman8440]

@@user-mf7zq9er6o I know this was a while ago but I hope you enjoyed it

[@markpettis2896]

You’re so great at describing the story to one of my favorite operas

[@dennis12dec]

Just recently watched Puccini's Tosca on DVD from the Royal Opera House featuring one of my favorite divas Angela Gheorghiu in her incredible performance as Floria Tosca, it was indeed a roller coaster ride 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.

[@kellicoffman8440]

I think that is one of the copies of Tosca I have

[@dennis12dec]

@kellicoffman8440 Oh yes there's my favourite Scarpia the Welsh baritone Sir Bryn Terfel also Jonas Kaufmann as Mario Cavaradossi.

LOL and the KZbin craze leaves no stone unturned it seems. This is cool content. Really helps for us plebs who can't speak Italian but still listen to opera here and there. Way better than reading Wikipedia. You've got a sense of humor about it which is nice, and your delivery is very straightforward and engaging. I imagine you can get a few new people into opera with this kind of content! Keep it up!

I'm seeing it tonight, ur video helped a lot thanks, u r really charismatic please keep making these videos ❤️

[@theangelicintuitive1111]

I am seeing this today- last show at the SF Opera. You are extremely entertaining in your presentation. Looking forward to seeing your short on my next opera.

[@anthonybawia99]

Seeing it today too, greetings from Prague!

[@AlanODuffy]

Such a clever telling of a complex story … wonderful…. You are such a talent .. thank you. X

[@anthrogirl7456]

That opera can always make me sob. I mean...they were so close to being together (alive)!! T_T

[@dorisoboe]

Congrats for these videos! Keep on going, very nice

[@JamesVibe]

great review...thx so much

[@FreyasArts]

Thank you for this 😁 I'm going to see Tosca with my grandmother and I wanted to know the story a bit beforehand.

[@jfarinacci0329]

Thank you Mia Excellent synopsis. Good work. Thank you.

[@rafaeldavidloaizabigott8975]

Excellent! Thanks !

[@pierre-marietricaud5190]

Excellent, comme toutes vos vidéos. Jusqu'à il y a peu je n'avais pas encore eu l'occasion d'entendre la Tosca, pourtant l'un des 5 ou 10 opéras les plus joués dans le monde. Je l'ai découvert dans le cinéma de mon petit village de Vendée, dans le cadre de l'opération Opéra sur écrans organisée conjointement par les opéras d'Angers-Nantes et de Rennes. Dans une mise en scène que j'ai bien aimée, plus d'ailleurs que celle que vous montrez dans votre clip (Direction musicale Clelia Cafiero, Mise en scène Silvia Paoli, Myrtò Papatanasiu, soprano - qui ressemble à sa compatriote la Callas -, Andeka Gorrotxategi, ténor, Stefano Meo, baryton). Mais avec l'ensemble de cet opéra encore très présent dans ma tête, j'ai trouvé que votre petite présentation en rendait très bien compte. Merci !

[@englodi]

Really love your performance 😍

[@leonardchileungman4925]

would you tell me who is who, i.e., which version that we are watching throughout the story telling 🙏

[@thenoble39]

Lovely stuff here

[@Bitos_Cyril]

Dis moi, tu serais pas francophone de base ? ;) merci ça mais bien pour mon examen

[@alexisgrey3633]

Scarpia is like Frollo.

[@starm-b4103]

Bahahaha this was hilarious thank you

[@rdbury507]

Scarpia, the guy in opera you most love to hate, which is a pretty tall order. You'll have to give a few more examples to prove the opera has more cliches than usual. Tragic romance and the heroine dying at the end are pretty much just rules, otherwise it's called a comic opera, operetta or opera buffa. What's not a cliche is that Tosca gets her revenge before the end, way to go female empowerment. Love the PJ's btw.

[@jameslippincott7440]

Very informative, thank you for uploading. I really did not like this opera; I found it confusing and I did not like any of the characters but thank you for your passion!

[@jmballestra7607]

Résumé plutôt bon !!!! ... (Ce n'est pas toujours le cas !!!!) J' ai ,à plusieurs reprises ,déjà exprimé mes critiques au sujet de la narratrice !!!! Ici ,elle se montre globalement meilleure !!!! J'aurais aimé entendre plus d'extraits musicaux !!!! ....Dans son magnifique chef - d'oeuvre , Puccini emploie des "Leitmotive " ,à la manière de Wagner !!!!.....

[@nancysikes]

It's not a long story to begin with, especially as operas go. Aristotelian in its compactness.

[@pega17pl]

Bewunderswert an der Sängerin der Tosca ist, wenn sie diese von einer oberflächlichen, eifersüchtigen Person im 1. Akt zu einer hochdramatischen Person verwandelt. Wenn ihr das gelingt und sie das "Vissi d'arte" ohne Gebrüll und nach da capo heischend auf die Bühne bringt, dann kann es eine großartige Vorstellung werden. - Heinz

[@olgagusik]

I didn't see the opera, only heard two most famous songs and I don't get what's the point with that countess hiding clothes and the blond woman attending the church. Why are they in the plot at all? (I probably should see the entire thing to understand)
