This is the third act of Tosca to be animated with hand drawn images and photo montages by VeryWobblyVideos and the whole role of Tosca has been interpreted. As almost no visual records of the performance exist, the scenery and characters have been hand created in cyberspace from portraits and other photographs.
Virginia Zeani and Placido Domingo are two opera singers not only with superb voices but with passionate dramatic commitment. It is almost criminal that there are no commercial recordings of them singing together for they fire each other up with thrilling results. Their Manon Lescaut is equally stunning and the final scene, also posted on this channel, has been described here and elsewhere as the finest existing interpretation.

NB The recordings of Mme Virginia Zeani are mostly from radio broadcasts or private or in-house tapes. They were saved by her fans and later, without her permission, sometimes transferred to CDs by companies who pay her no royalties. They are now posted on RU-vid so that new opera lovers can freely experience and enjoy her remarkable performances.
