"In the title role was Krassimira Stoyanova, a Bulgarian
soprano who has been only an occasional presence at the Met. This was
an impressive vocal performance, sporting a laser focus in the top and
middle of her range, and a light smolder in her chest voice. “Ritorna
vincitor!” was sung with gripping intensity, bringing the evening to
life after a slow start. This aria in fact overshadowed the far more
famous lament “O patria mia” from Act III, which was also emotionally
effective and intelligently sung, though a little cautious, never
opening up to her full power." by Eric C. Simpson
