Tosca
Australian OperaJul 2024Gevorg Hakobyan as Scarpia dominated the stage with his presence. We could well believe Scarpia ruled Rome by fear, while Hakobyan conveyed a smooth charm complete with menace even in his casual questioning, as in Act two’s bedroom scene.

Hakobyan’s sadistic chief of police is typical of the oafish class that strays dangerously close to the halls of power, often hijacking ideological movements for their own political gain and treating those around them as mere playthings. We’ve all seen them, elevated from the underbelly of society to positions of power in return for dubious services rendered.
