Having dazzled opera audiences as Lucia from St. Petersburg to Los Angeles, in 2009 Anna Netrebko returned to the Met in Mary Zimmermann's 'imaginative staging' (New York Times) of Donizetti's masterpiece. / "Netrebko shaped the arching phrases with rich sound and lyrical suppleness... her earthy, subdued expressivitiy (in the Mad Scene) had me thinking of Callas... Mariusz Kwiecien was terrific." (New York Times) / "Beczala has a big, beautiful voice." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
