There are still many other performances of "Tosca" to come at the Met with a wide array of sopranos, tenors and baritones. Unfortunately there will be no more Gheorghiu on the Met stage for the balance of the 2015-16 season. However, her brief run on the famous stage was a stark reminder of why she is such a poignant artist.
Puccini's "Tosca" returns to the Metropolitan Opera on Oct. 16 with superstar Angela Gheorghiu, Liudmyla Monastyrska, and Maria Guleghina alternating the title role.
