“Maria Sensi Sellner and the instrumentalists in the orchestra turned in a sterling performance… it easily ranked among the very best orchestral performances of the year…
[Maria Brea’s] voice is gloriously luxurious, well developed and lovely throughout its range, and well suited to the demands of the part… [Sergio] Martinez possesses a bass voice of cavernous resonance and carrying power, and he acted the part with fitting discretion. Ms. Williams sang with a mezzo-soprano voice of excellent quality and quantity, and made the listener wish that Verdi hadn’t saved her vivid character for the last act only.”
