This will be the final performance for the current cast, though the company will bring back the opera in January for performances featuring Angela Gheorghiu in the title role and Erwin Schrott as Scarpia. Massimo Giordano will play Cavaradossi.

Per the official website, tickets start at 14 euros (approximately $16 USD) and can be purchased right off the Vienna State Opera’s streaming website. There are options for monthly subscriptions to future performances on the service depending on users’ preference for experience opera from the comfort of their homes.

After this production, the company will showcase Rossini’s “L’Italiana in Algeri” and Janacek’s “Katja Kabanova” on the live streaming service.
