The Met leaves Milnes off their cast listing, but shouldn’t, he’s one of the solid pluses, as are Konya and Arroyo. I went to the last of this run the following week which featured James King in the title role. Dvorakova is not a favorite of mine (saw her Isolde at the Met and Senta in Philadelphia) but the tone never had clarity or beauty for me.
