Today’s clips feature Terfel attempting the patter of Don Basilio in a performance recorded in Vienna last month as well as the complete second Act of last weekend’s Tanglewood Tosca opposite a dire Kristine Opolais.
Terfel’s next season includes performances as the Dutchman (opposite Asmik Grigorian) and Boris Gudonov and he continues his lengthy farewell to his signature role of Scarpia, an interpretation Christopher Corwin praised back in January.
Those wanting to assess Terfel in real-time can tune in to hear his Gianni Schicchi live from Verbier today at 12:30 PM EST.
