Tito Gobbi singing "Va, Tosca!" from Mr. Puccini's masterpiece, Tosca. Apparently an excerpt on a French TV show.
This is an excerpt from the 1964 ROH Covent Garden production Tosca Act II that was televised on the BBC.
Now that's a Scarpia!
Here is Gobbi's Wikipedia bio-blurb.
(I'm in a Tosca mood because I participated in a Tosca sing-through yesterday. As Spoletta.)

That IS a Scarpia. I hope you enjoyed saying "Sant'Ignazio m'aiuta!" :) I actually find Spoletta quite an interesting character, and that's my favorite line of his.
