Soprano Tamara Wilson makes her role debut in Tosca at Houston Grand Opera. HouGrandOpera
at Houston Grand Opera.For years, Tamara Wilson was pretty much no one's first choice to sing any of Puccini's work — which had absolutely nothing to do with her significant abilities as a soprano., artistic directors realized that a) she was perfectly capable of singing Puccini's music and well and b) put a dark wig on her and she easily becomes the stereotypical image of a passionate Italian woman.
The music Puccini wrote is striking and a major reason this opera is so often performed. Memorable arias include Cavaradossi singingin the midst of the terrible bargain Scarpia asks her to agree to and Cavaradossi singingafter its 2010 and 2015 productions and is again using the John Caird version of the epic opera set in Italy just after the Regency period.
From the beginning, Wilson says she wanted to approach the first scene showing her character's jealous nature in a little different way. Readily acknowledging that Tosca is"not that nice of a person" given her jealousy and betrayals, Wilson still didn't want to present her as a diva."I wanted to make it more like a normal jealousy how like normal couples would be. It feels more playful and more human — less the stereotype.
