About
Chilean-American tenor Jonathan Tetelman and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under Musical Director Daniel Harding announce their upcoming album, on which they are joined by an array of performers to present Puccini’s operatic thriller Tosca.
This staging not only commemorates the Puccini anniversary but also marks the official debut of Harding as the orchestra’s new Music Director, conducting his first ever performances of the tragic opera. With an all-star cast on board, led by star tenor Jonathan Tetelman and soprano Eleonora Buratto as ill-fated lovers, their presentation of Tosca made a fitting tribute to Puccini in the year of the centenary of his death. They were joined by French baritone Ludovic Tézier who sings Baron Scarpia, the brutal chief of police who proves their undoing. These experienced performers conjured the drama of an opera as a concert performance that highlights the slightest vocal and orchestral nuance – every detail of Puccini’s fantastic writing can be heard.

May 2025
Buratto, who has sung Tosca just once before in Munich , emerges from this recording as an ideal interpreter of the title role, her voice full-bodied but never strident, eminently suited to both the dramatic and lyrical demands of the music...Tézier, a seasoned Scarpia, is superlative, knowing exactly when to bring a coarseness, even a bark, to the villain’s voice at moments of high drama.
April 2025
Harding’s reading tends towards the symphonic rather than theatrical, the rich Santa Cecilia strings nicely heavy on the carbs, with imposing heavyweight brass...this new account boasts the finest Tosca cast of the digital era and is a recording I’ll be returning to often in years to come.
