Been binge watching Lupin III: A Woman Named Fujiko Mine and episode 4 Tosca is being performed. While they butchered the plot, I'm very curious who is the soprano and baritone here



Here is the first part



Here is the second part

Thanks!

To be fair, I've noticed the opposite. I think of Callas in Philadelphia and The Iron Lady, Caruso in Woody Allen's Match Point (although recordings with less well known singers were also used in that film), Janowitz and Mathis in the Shawshank Redemption and Tebaldi and Bergonzi in Moonstruck. The film Quartet in which the Rigoletto quartet is central uses the recording by Sutherland, Pavarotti, Milnes and Tourangeau.

That said, when opera is used in commercials (and that's where we are most often to encounter it outside of classical music circles in everyday life), lesser known artists in presumably cheaper to license recordings are often heard.
