Description:

Joy McIntyre makes a compelling case for casting Amneris with a dramatic soprano. The vocal balance between her and Aida feels more evenly matched, and she delivers some thrilling high notes that few mezzos could achieve. Felicia Weathers, though undeniably gifted with a uniquely beautiful voice, offers a more uneven performance. Her softer singing reveals her expressive potential, but moments requiring full vocal power—particularly on exposed high notes—are inconsistent, and at times, unfortunate. Still, for admirers of her artistry, this recording offers an intriguing glimpse into what made her such a promising talent.
