Melody Moore travels to Santiago de Chile to star in Puccini’s Tosca on July 13, 17, 21 and 23. Leonardo Caimi sings Cavaradossi and Elchin Azizov is Scarpia, with Konstantin Chudovsky conducting.

Tosca is one of Ms. Moore’s signature roles and she has received wonderful critical acclaim for it.

“Moore delivers a brilliant Vissi d’Arte that is very sensual, captivating and descriptive of the inner tumult that the Diva Floria has to face with the unwanted advances of Scarpia.”

“As so often with HOT productions, the evening’s highlight was the voices. As Tatyana, Melody Moore’s powerful, warm soprano set the opera’s moral compass — as soon as he heard her, Onegin should have known she would win out”

For most people, singing loud enough to project to a hall of 2,000 seats without amplification sounds impossible. Imagine doing it for nearly half an hour straight. In Russian.

“Melody Moore brought a much-needed regality to Elisabetta, contrasting passion with repression, and thoughtful, provocative phrasing. Her aria at the tomb was a masterclass in phrasing, subdividing the lengthy aria into smaller, emotionally-motivated fragments.”

“On opening night, the work was blessed with the performance of Melody Moore, a Tennessee soprano who was making her FGO debut in a part she had never played. Her voice effortlessly sank into the depths of her register and then soared into the upper reaches to mirror her character’s inner tumult. She inhabits the persona of a Brahmin princess who likely hasn’t heard the word “no” much in her life and yet who seems to genuinely grieve for the man she has had killed.”

Bill Hirschman, South Florida

“Vocally, Moore was a revelation. She sounded remarkably at ease, in full control of pitch, articulation and intensity. Singing from the highest forte expression of desire and anger to the lowest pianissimos without any seeming strain”
