00:00Tosca is a terrific psychological thriller with a psychopath which is incredibly attractive.
00:10It's fascinating musically, psychologically. From the beginning to the end you never know
00:19what can happen. There's a lot of love but there's always a danger behind it.
00:24It's a very pessimistic opera where everyone dies at the end.
00:29Uccini is such a revolutionary composer for his time because he's the first cinematographic
00:40composer. When the singers are not singing, he composed the stage. He composed every step
00:50that the singer has to do before the shock is happening. Uccini was really one of the
01:00first composers who worked with space and sound. So while you see something, you hear
01:05something else and you relate it to that. Okay, then there's a text. It's really three-dimension
01:12all the time. It's a music of details. It can sound like a big soup of emotion with
01:20a lot of caramel and hot chocolate but underneath that there is so much ingredients that make
01:27this music extraordinary. It's like being in the cinema but live and you will feel everything.
