New York, NY (October 6, 2015) – Beginning October 16, Puccini’s Tosca returns to the Met for thirteen performances starring four sopranos as the tempestuous title character. Oksana Dyka, who made her Met debut as Yaroslavna in Borodin’s Prince Igor, returns to the Met to sing six performances of a signature role beginning October 16. Angela Gheorghiu, a noteworthy Tosca in major opera houses around the world, adds the role to her extensive Met repertory on October 29 and November 2. Maria Guleghina, who has sung 42 Met performances of Tosca since her 1991 company role debut, returns for two performances on November 6 and 11. Finally, Liudmyla Monastyrska—a notable Aida at the Met in two recent seasons—adds the Roman diva to her company repertory in the final three performances of the run. The casts for Tosca also include Italian tenors Roberto Aronica and Marcello Giordani as Mario Cavaradossi; George Gagnidze, James Morris, ®eljko Luèiæ (in a company role debut), and Marco Vratogna as the wicked Scarpia; and John Del Carlo as the Sacristan. Plácido Domingo and Joseph Colaneri will conduct this season’s performances of Luc Bondy’s 2009 production.
