1
00:01:36,803 --> 00:01:40,053
The music tells us
2
00:01:41,764 --> 00:01:44,619
that the male character,
Cavaradossi,
3
00:01:44,619 --> 00:01:46,379
is a 19th-century man.
4
00:01:46,379 --> 00:01:48,373
He's a man of his time,
5
00:01:48,373 --> 00:01:55,873
who would like to be a new man,
an enlightened man.
6
00:02:01,189 --> 00:02:04,563
Tosca encourages him.
7
00:02:04,563 --> 00:02:06,599
It's nothing to do
with the revolution,
8
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:08,339
because Tosca
is not concerned by that.
9
00:02:08,339 --> 00:02:12,214
He is very open-minded.
10
00:02:12,653 --> 00:02:15,959
He's a pure, honest and upright man.
11
00:02:15,959 --> 00:02:18,819
A man who doesn't yield to power.
12
00:02:18,819 --> 00:02:20,573
Quite the opposite.
He scorns it,
13
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:25,813
in rather a childish manner
sometimes,
14
00:02:25,813 --> 00:02:31,438
but with sincerity and determination.
15
00:02:34,409 --> 00:02:38,439
He's always very romantic.
16
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:42,759
Even during the conspiracy
in the first act,
17
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:47,879
he is led on by Tosca's passion
and love,
18
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:51,359
in a loving duet
with his acolyte, in the church.
19
00:02:51,359 --> 00:02:55,899
This lyrical and romantic outburst
20
00:02:55,899 --> 00:02:58,979
is a distant feeling,
21
00:02:58,979 --> 00:03:01,933
different to other characters.
22
00:03:01,933 --> 00:03:04,689
They are either very strong,
like Tosca,
23
00:03:04,689 --> 00:03:08,939
or extremely self-centred,
24
00:03:09,009 --> 00:03:16,134
as if they were all that mattered,
like Scarpia.
25
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:36,544
In the second act,
there are five statues.
26
00:03:36,544 --> 00:03:42,359
These statues have a precise
iconographic reference.
27
00:03:42,359 --> 00:03:46,203
These are famous statues
made by famous sculptors.
28
00:03:46,203 --> 00:03:48,813
They have slight variations
29
00:03:48,813 --> 00:03:54,313
but they should still be recognized.
30
00:03:56,759 --> 00:04:00,033
This is a sculpture of Michelangelo.
31
00:04:00,033 --> 00:04:02,689
We reproduced one of his sculptures.
32
00:04:02,689 --> 00:04:04,943
See if you can recognize it.
33
00:04:04,943 --> 00:04:07,073
When you see it,
34
00:04:07,073 --> 00:04:10,853
you must think of
its iconographic reference,
35
00:04:10,853 --> 00:04:18,853
know that it's by Michelangelo
and recognize it as such.
36
00:04:34,089 --> 00:04:38,869
The White Voices feature prominently
in the first act.
37
00:04:38,869 --> 00:04:42,244
They're the chorus.
38
00:04:58,023 --> 00:05:03,149
The most wonderful thing about
this chorus is its spontaneity
39
00:05:03,149 --> 00:05:07,774
and its desire to make music.
40
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:35,329
At the beginning of the third act,
41
00:05:36,084 --> 00:05:41,334
there is an impression of daybreak
42
00:05:42,749 --> 00:05:46,999
by a kind of bell concert.
43
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,978
To do so,
44
00:05:57,089 --> 00:06:00,529
we place the bells
in diferent positions
45
00:06:00,529 --> 00:06:03,099
while following the score.
46
00:06:03,099 --> 00:06:05,469
There's a faraway sound
47
00:06:05,469 --> 00:06:08,099
that comes from
San Pietro nel Montorio,
48
00:06:08,099 --> 00:06:11,519
one closer, to the right,
from Sant'Onofrio
49
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:16,283
and one even closer, on the left,
from the church of dei Miracoli.
50
00:06:16,283 --> 00:06:19,459
3 of the 4 bells
are the original ones.
51
00:06:19,459 --> 00:06:22,739
They come from Pistoia,
where they were made
52
00:06:22,739 --> 00:06:25,239
for Puccini.
53
00:06:41,219 --> 00:06:42,739
It's a lovely challenge.
54
00:06:42,739 --> 00:06:47,489
It was a rather experimental idea
for the time.
55
00:06:47,489 --> 00:06:52,364
It's our tribute to the writer.
