In this performance of La Forza del destino, Pauline Tinsley reaffirms her remarkable versatility as a singer. Her voice is astonishing, combining exceptional clarity with impressive size, and she possessed as fine a top as any dramatic soprano could hope for—both thrilling and secure. She is joined by Donald Smith as Don Alvaro, whose voice blends the steel of a great spinto tenor with the elegance of an English tenor, creating a striking balance.
