She meets it with impressive versatility throughout the evening. Unsurprisingly, her voice is at its most sumptuous in the sensual music of Giulietta, but equally impressive is the agility and precision with which she dispatches Olympia's daunting aria. She completes the trio with an Antonia that is understated, heartfelt, and deeply affecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eIn the title role, \u003cstrong\u003eAgostino Lazzari\u003c\/strong\u003e is not always an ideal match for Zeani.
