Listen to a Sample:

Pros:

  • The star of this show is Martina Arroyo, who gives the audience a lesson in great Verdi singing. I can't decide which is more impressive, the purity of her tone or the power of her instrument.
  • Ludovico Spiess is certainly not a tenor for the ages, but his warm tenor voice always made him a sturdy addition to any cast.
  • As Ulrica, Lili Chookasian is right at home, plumbing the depths of her seemingly bottomless contralto voice.
  • The sound is very good and in stereo.

Cons:

  • During the last minute of the opera there is some light skipping.
