NYT Midgette [1/23/06]: The Met seems to have cast this one with an eye to some of its younger home-grown singers: Eric Cutler as Tamino, Morris Robinson taking a big step from smaller roles to Sarastro. A certain callow quality was a result. Mr. Cutler has a nice, firm instrument but wielded it clumsily. In “Dies Bildnis,” his first aria, he got a big sound on the top notes but didn’t carry it down to the lower ones: in general, he moved through the role adequately, but without any particular flair. Mr. Robinson’s voice was tight and closed off; I wondered if he might be fighting a cold. Coincidentally Gregory Reinhart showed a startlingly powerful bass making his company debut in the role Mr. Robinson sang in the first run of this production, the Second Armed Man. This left the coast clear for Mary Dunleavy to shine as a warm, well-sung Pamina, and Nathan Gunn to caper as Papageno, milking every line. Erika Miklosa, the Queen of the Night, had a slender nothing of a voice that she powered up for the coloratura sections, appropriately bell-like if not especially precise. The Three Ladies didn’t sound quite coordinated: perhaps because of debut jitters on the part of Susannah Glanville as the First Lady. Also making his debut was the conductor Paul Daniel, who got off to an unfortunate start with an overture that sounded sluggish, but who worked his way into the music and created a lighter agility by Act II.

Miklosa is an excellent Astrafiammante, but the rest of the cast does not make this performance stand out.

COSÌ FAN TUTTE:Mozart

This is the season after the Bartoli run as Despina also with Vaness. Most of the interest in this broadcast centers on Richard Croft now in Satyagraha and Susan Graham for whom this is an early broadcast. Her second Dorabella run is in 2001 has also been on Sirius. For Vaness fans she has two Cosi broadcasts from early in her Met career 1984 and 1991, and the 1984 is particularly recommended. Her Mozart singing in the early 1980s was right up there with the very best– Steber, Fleming, Lorengar, Te Kanawa.
