I love this performance even though Netrebko is several voice sizes bigger than Florez. They are both star performers, and give high profile performances.
This is the year of the new production, and the unifying presence of Alaimo is no small contribution. I enjoy Netrebko’s HD (also on DVD and MOoD) at the next revival under Schenk, but I’m grateful this performance is in the MOoD.”
