Nicholas Hytner’s new production “earned an enthusiastic ovation.” Marina Poplavskaya, with her “luminous singing, beautiful pianissimo high notes and unforced power” is a “noble, elegant Elisabeth.” Roberto Alagna’s singing is “poignant,” and Yannick Nézet-Séguin brings “youthful passion and precocious insight to his work.”— Anthony Tommasini, New York Times
