Anna Bolena from the Met

[David-G]

Anyone listening? I cannot say I am convinced by the singing.

[jean]

Nor me. Who's the soprano trying to sould like Callas?

[Richard Tarleton]

Likewise. Sondra Radvanovsky, it says on my screen. She's American, but could pass for Russian judging by the, er, vibrato?

[David-G]

She is very well spoken of. Bachtrack recently reviewed her Anna Bolena: "A house favorite for several years, Radvanovsky appeared up to the task. Despite the extraordinary demands of this role, she was flawless."

Maybe she is taking time to warm up.

[David-G]

End of Act 1. She seems to have hit her form, and the whole thing has woken up.
