EnglishGermanSpanish.Puccini´s "Tosca", seen recently on public television, is the finest opera production I have ever seen on TV . . . Public television cannot repeat this program soon enough.
Miscellaneous / Paul Hume, Washington Post / 13. September 1978

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bei dieser Aufzeichnung von Puccinis "Tosca" hat das Fernsehen seine Chance hundertprozentig genutzt. Was einer realistischen Inszenierung in Bühnenbildern nur als schwacher Abglanz gelingen kann, schaffte die Verfilmung in wahrhaft aufsehenerregender Wirklichkeit. Der Regisseur Gianfranco de Brosio konnte die drei Akte zum größten Teil an den Originalschauplätzen in Rom aufnehmen: eine faszinierende Bereicherung des optischen Geschehens, ja, eine Sternstunde des Fernsehens. Unvergeßlich.
Miscellaneous / Opernwelt (Berlin) / 01. April 1978

. . . Raina Kabaivanska . . . es imprescindible verla si se quiere comprender en qué consistió este singular fenómeno operístico. No se la pierda.
