Being in New York is an opportunity for opera. We booked for Lucia Di Lammermore. The NY times reviewer was underwhelmed 3 weeks ago, finding the performance technically efficient but lacking convincing emotion, especially from the tragic bride.
We thoroughly enjoyed all of it. We thought the Russian soprano, Albina Shagimuratova, wonderful. With the excellent acoustic, perfect ( to our ears) orchestra, and funding from a list of donors and amounts that could finance a small university, fault finding requires a hunt. We are glad to have had the experience.
Here are snaps of the production purloined from Google images-
