In 1965, Renata Tebaldi made a rare appearance on Canadian television in an evening of music by Puccini and Rossini. Joined by baritone Louis Quilico, Miss Tebaldi offers a searing account of the Act Two final confrontation between Floria Tosca and Baron Scarpia, fully staged and costumed. Additionally, the soprano performs the complete Rossini song cycle La Regata Veneziana. Quilico is heard in Tosti's L'ultima canzone and the chilling final scene from Puccini's Il Tabarro. Atmospheric sets and superb production values with Tebaldi and Quilico at the very top of their form make this a program for opera lovers to cherish.
