Been getting really into Puccini operas lately and what I really like is the ones where the villain is a kind of guy who still exists nowadays because I just think. Oh. People are always people.

But like Pinkerton, guys like him still exist. He's the guy who wants to date Asian girls before settling down with a white wife. Literally, that's not even a joke. Or in the modern day he might be the 19 year old frat boy who thinks it's okay to flirt or worse with girls barely in high school, and groom and manipulate them into believing that he actually cares about them. Those kinds of guys still exist.

Or Scarpia with his hiding behind religion and wanting to break women.

People a hundred years ago had these kinds of problems, and the stories are still relatable and relevant. I really love them.

tfw you're trying really hard not to break character during all the rapturous applause after your big, tragic, heart-wrenching aria but the audience loves you too damn much:

Eleonora Buratto in the title role of Giacomo Puccini's Tosca at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma (November 2025).

#SHE IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE I CAN'T EVEN 🥺🥺🥺#i love her so darn much #i know i keep saying that but it's TRUE #all this post-“vissi d'arte” applause went on for about a solid minute (to provide context)#in that second gif she's making faces back and forth with daniel oren (the conductor) as to whether she should take a bow #and oren frankly looked like he was about to dance off the podium so i'm not surprised he gave her the green light #ironically though this was not even the most dramatically interesting version of “vissi d'arte” that buratto has ever sung?#which was *decidedly* how she did things in the 2024 bayerische staatsoper production #(in which one of scarpia's maids had just hidden a knife for tosca. so the aria was a confrontation with god over multiple tough choices.)#ANYWAY #i will forever remain impressed that sondra radvanovsky maintained character through a minute-plus of applause at the met in january 2025 #but i'm not-so-secretly delighted that buratto totally broke character here to be her adorable self!#eleonora buratto #tosca #puccini #teatro dell'opera di roma #opera tag #operablr
