    Dessay’s first aria and cabaletta stunk big time…and the audience reaction was tepid at best. Good luck to her.

  • Carmen says:

    Juan Diego rocks!! Crystal clear voice!

  • Reggiani says:

    I tuned in a little late…thought it was O’Flynn or another understudy…doesn’t sound like a star…lacks personality. Now that I know ’tis SHE, my perception will probably change.

  • calaf47 says:

    HORRIBLE end to act one. That’s the best high Eb Dessay can do?? Ripping up scores??Throwing the bed???What kind of crap is that???
    THANK GOD FOR FLOREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • calaf47 says:

    Ms. O’Flynn can sing better than that. PLEASE…don’t insult Ms. O’Flynn. I have heard her in SONNAMBULA in DC..and she sounded NOTHING like that.

  • maria says:

    Dessay is in terrible voice. Florez is sounding more and more nasal. I don’t like that sound. The bass (?) is a cipher.

  • maria says:

    What a lousy, depressing performance.

  • maria says:

    And to make matters worse, tomorrow night we get Racette, Giordani and Croft in Butterfly. Is that the best the Met can do?

  • calaf47 says:

    Yes…it’s the “best” they can do. They just emailed asking me to renew my subscription…and I told them no way.

  • Reggiani says:

    OMG!!!! DEEEE!!!!! He is the only reason for this show. Bravissimo!!!!!!
