Maestra was excellent! I watched this performance, since ” Die Tode Stadt ” is one of my favorite operas.

I truly enjoyed the performance and hope she will get many more opportunities in the future!

I guess what I was trying to convey here, is that the Maestra did well, for stepping in at the last minute. Yes, that is what conductors get paid to do; however, this particular opera is a bit tricky to conduct well.
Still the accolades for the young photogenic women tumble out. Please – how about proper recognition for Nathalie Stutzmann as a conductor??
