In my view Jaho and also Beczała are not even at their peak yet.
One afternoon at Dresden, in interview Beczała said to me that he must be doing something right, or words to that effect, as he had been booed at La Scala. I believe Caruso, Callas, Pavarotti, Tebaldi, Scotto, Freni, Bartoli, Fleming, Alagna, et al were all subject to booing by La Scala loggionisti; so he's in good company.
That same evening at Semperoper, Dresden, Beczała sang the title role in Lohengrin with Netrebko as Elsa; both of whom were making their full Wagner debuts.
