How good will an English National Opera production now have to be not to be upstaged by its venue? We're still waiting to find out. But this is a decent enough revival of Puccini's masterpiece - and its two intervals give plenty of time for gawping at the building.

David McVicar's production, new less than 18 months ago, is here revived with an almost entirely fresh cast by Elaine Tyler-Hall. For all its dark, oppressive sets and chiaroscuro lighting, it is in many ways traditional; where it does stray a little from the norm is in its depiction of Tosca herself. McVicar's idea of her as an impulsive, free-spirited and slightly immature teenage diva could have been - and probably was - developed with his original heroine, Cheryl Barker, in mind. Now the role has been taken over by Claire Rutter, to whom all that flirty running around in the first act doesn't come naturally (and who at times looks like she'd rather be playing a grown-up in the Zeffirelli version down the road).

Yet Rutter has the voice for the role, and is at least partly convincing in realising McVicar's conception. Her Tosca gets a childish thrill from snogging in front of the Madonna, and the frisson between her and Scarpia in the church is clear - and entirely plausible, now that Scarpia has lost the straggly wig and pasty make-up of the original staging. But to have Tosca tentatively and curiously feeling up Scarpia's corpse after the murder doesn't work at all; this is one other aspect the production could usefully lose.

Her Cavaradossi is Julian Gavin, whose high-tension tenor has its heroic moments; you warm to him by the third act. In the pit, Noel Davies brings out the lush detail in Puccini's score, though the orchestra can be dominant and some important lines of Amanda Holden's characterful translation get lost, especially from the two leads. But with the smaller roles coming across vividly, and with Stephen Kechulius as a larger-than-life, resonantly sung and even rather dangerous Scarpia, there's a lot to grab the attention onstage as well as off.
