As the beautiful Tosca, Emily Magee plays opposite the charismatic Jonas Kaufmann (Cavaradossi) and debonair Thomas Hampson (Scarpia); together they bring a rare intensity to this famous tale of love and revenge from beyond the grave.Capture captureDate: 2009-04-XXRecorded in performance at Opernhaus Zürich, Apr. 2009.DurationPT125MAuthorized Access PointTosca
