Dalis is a replacement for Nilsson, and except for a wayward D flat in alt as conclusion to the Sleepwalking Scene, she delivers one of the most incisive Lady Macbeths to hit the Met airwaves. MacNeil and Giaiotti are both on excellent form, and Morell if not Bergonzi is quite solid. Santi is not always to my taste, but he has a good afternoon here. A worthy performance of an often jinxed opera.
