PEOPLE, Page 75The Best Seats in Town
By MICHAEL QUINN
Even for an art form that is extravagance set to music, it
was grand opera: Puccini's Tosca, broadcast on Italian TV from
the sites in Rome at the times of day specified in the score -- a
16th century church at noon, a palace that evening, a fortress
on the Tiber the next morning. Artfully concealed microphones
and receivers electronically linked tenor PLACIDO DOMINGO and
American soprano CATHERINE MALFITANO with Zubin Mehta's
orchestra across town. "It was amazing to be singing on these
locations, looking out over Rome at St. Peter's and the
Vatican," says Malfitano -- though the marathon left her feeling
"like I had the worst case of jet lag." With U.S. audiences due
to see the results on PBS in September, this Tosca has a happy
ending.
