This June 1955 performance of Puccini’s Tosca marked Renata Tebaldi’s first appearance with the Covent Garden Company. The roles of Cavaradossi and Scarpia were filled by two of Italy’s finest singers, Ferruccio Tagliavini (Cavaradossi) and Tito Gobbi (Scarpia).  All three went on to make memorable studio recordings for Decca, Cetra and EMI. The Times wrote, ‘The performance was tremendous, not only in the singing, which was up to the heroic standards of the past, but in dramatic tension’.
 
“Tebaldi’s heady tone is equal to every one of the role’s musical demands, while dramatically she proves an engaged and potent heroine.”
 
BBC Music Magazine - July 2011

“Tebaldi is very impressive with her huge, supple tone and powerful rhetorical gestures... I have to say that the palm must go to Gobbi, who is in sovereign voice, singing as well on this evening as I have ever heard him sing anywhere.”
 
MusicWeb-International.com - July 2011

“Tebaldi’s voice is remarkably fresh and secure, with all five high Cs in place and offering no problems... she is the very model of a major Tosca.”
 
ClassicsToday.com - June 2011

“Tebaldi’s voice is remarkably fresh and secure, with all five Cs in place and offering no problems, the registers are perfectly knit and the sound grand, beautiful and womanly... If you Love Tebaldi, you’ll adore her here in this gloriously sung and very committed reading.”
