This is not a major post. Just mentioning that Sondra Radvanovsky's face when she's describing the plot of I vespri siciliani is totally amazing, even if I think her voice is slightly too heavy for Elena's bolero. You can hear her say, under the Italian dubbing, "And they're going to kill all the French in Sicily! At my wedding!"

(I also like the production; I think the stylization is very nice -clean and attractive - though I'm not sure how it would work for the rest of the opera.)

And Radvanovsky's d'amor sull'ali rosee is really very good.
