Superb singing, stylish conducting
“With conductor Daniele Rustioni ably managing the balances, this was the clearest vocal and instrumental sound one has heard at the Met all season. Every articulation came through, and one felt the weight and substance of the voices and the music. Much of this was due to a nuanced dynamic palette, with everyone, including the chorus, holding back their maximum volume save for a few key moments.“
