Olga Peretyatko was superb. Does the Russian language have rolled ‘r’s? She can trill those and enunciate them in a spectacular way. Definitely worth going to see/hear her sing. Production wise - it was fun - and innovative. Whether it really made the plot “better” I’m not sure.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
