This is one of those beautifully sublime moments in opera where everyone has done their job. The composer wrote an amazing piece of music, the orchestra performs it beautifully, the direction and staging is simple yet powerful, and the singer is exquisite both in her singing and in her acting. Bravi tutti! I can't stop listening!
