Superbly cast as the two inseparable lovers Tosca and Cavaradossi, Voulgaridou and Giordano’s stage chemistry is as mesmerizing as the duo’s poignant vocals. From the passionate kissing scenes to the intimate serenades of their love and devotion to each other, Voulgaridou and Giordano are a match made in operatic heaven.

In particular, the tenor’s transcendent rendition of “E lucevan le stelle” in the final act and the soprano’s channeling of her inner Callas when belting out “Vissi d’arte” were enough to elevate the emotions of the audience to a new realm.
