About

In 1965, Renata Tebaldi made her sole appearance on Canadian Television in an evening of music by Puccini and Rossini. This telecast is highlighted by by the finale of Act II of Tosca. Tebaldi, at her vocal and dramatic peak, gives a searing account of the title role, tearing into the drama with an intensity exceeding many of her stage performances. Quilico, in resplendent vocal form, is every bit her match. The scene is typical of the CBC's production values of the period, with superb sets, atmospheric lighting, and keen direction. A novelty is Rossini's song cycle La Regata Veneziana sung by Miss Tebaldi. The work has always been a favorite of the soprano and has been recorded by her with piano accompaniment. This is the first time that the cycle will be available by Tebaldi with orchestral accompaniment.
