Nobody who attended the concert that on May 23, 2019, the Balearic Islands City Auditorium offered, will forget the voice of the Norwegian soprano who had come to replace the American Lise Lindstrom. The name Lise Davidsen began to be spoken of in earnest, in a dazzling ascent, while she captivated everyone, without exception. Even those responsible for the Wagnerian oracle, where in the same year, two months later, she debuted with the role of Elisabeth in Tannhäuser with a tremendous success. From here, the possibility of a return was not even remote. Once again the predictions that more than a few soothsayers had made were shattered when the Cap Rocat Festival announced that we would have the opportunity to once again enjoy the immeasurable talent of Lise Davidsen, moreover in her Spanish debut as Floria Tosca. This circumstance alone made the semi-staged version of Puccini's opera an event of the highest possible caliber.

An event. Simón Orfila was Scarpia, following in the footsteps of Joan Pons. It's not a dispute. There's no competition, although operatic comparisons are a constant, as common as they are lacking in rigor. What happened this time is simply a fine tribute to his fellow countryman, undoubtedly one of the best Scarpias in history. Therefore, a day to remember and write down in bold: Tosca inaugurates the 40th Opera Season at the Teatro Principal, and Simón Orfila made his debut as Scarpia. The rest is pure anecdote, of course, with many other elements worthy of mention. Yolanda Auyanet's Floria Tosca displayed a high and clear register, breath and color, with which her interpretation of the famous Art Visa, A marginal note at the request of Maria Jeritza, can only be described as remarkable. An aria, transformed into a pivotal moment of the greatest, which arises just before the story's climax, with the death of the perfidious, in addition to all the derogatory adjectives one might want to add, Baro Scarpia. He is the great character of the story that Victorien Sardou wrote for Sarah Bernhardt and of whom Orfila has given a more elegant reading than usual, but no less efficient. Rame Lahaj, for his part, was dramatically an adequate Caravadossi, with a robust voice but a limited projection, even strange.
