    Yet another excellently done performance of one of the hardest coloratura arias ever written! The comedy is spot on for the theme of the play; nice to see also that the soprano stuck to the basic notes instead of making it harder! Though I do enjoy the various extrapolations that many have done. This was easily one of my favorites!

    How can one not appreciate and chuckle at Elizabeth Futral making fun of her character, the doll "Olympia"? Vocally she was great. We simply do not hear enough from this dazzling, powerful, articulate coloratura soprano, Elizabeth Futral. She is simply on top of her gain in her career. I wish the Met, and so many other big companies would mount operas around her and utilizing such brilliant talent. Lord knows, she a beautiful woman ( like Moffo was ) to boot. Easy on the eyes. But she is a educated woman, who does her homework in what she performs and it shows. I wish the Met would've let her sung this season Donizetti, tragic 3 Queens at Met. Would've been historic for sure. She has the range, agility, and 9 times out ten, she hits the stratospheric high notes spot on!! Come on opera companies, get your damned act together, and get this talented Olympic ( not pun intended ) singer in bigger and splashy productions.
