The Metropolitan Opera’s 2024-25 broadcast season continues with a highlight from last November: Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. It stars the sensational Norwegian dramatic soprano Lise Davidsen in the title role of the temperamental Roman diva who lives for love and art. British Italian tenor Freddie de Tommaso, in his network broadcast debut, is Tosca’s lover, the painter and revolutionary Mario Cavaradossi. And Hawaiian baritone Quinn Kelsey sings the role of Baron Scarpia, the lecherous and corrupt chief of police.
