I just saw a performance there when I was in NYC. I can't say it was the most successful. The soprano pushed so hard in Acts 1 and 2 that she literally could not phonate in Act 3... she was a lyric singing TOSCA and all of her releases were hard. It was very disconcerting - she opened her mouth and squeaked and people gasped audibly. I was very concerned for her vocal health. It really was a lovely voice, but she was in trouble.
