"Anna Samuil did the role proud. The Russian soprano pulled out all the stops... Her voice was broad, full-bodied and effortless and was matched by skillful acting… "

"[Alfredo] Daza brings out dramatic tones, drawing out the man's anger: all done musically… Judged from his work here, Daza should be better known."
