Description:

Pros:

• Jean Cox approaches Siegfried with lyricism and grace.
• Heinz Zednik’s wirey Mime nearly steals the show.
• Of the Ring Wotans, The Wanderer seems to be the most comfortable fit vocally for Thomas Stewart.
• Catarina Ligendza’s slender, yet steely soprano seems to relish all of Wagner’s vocal acrobatics in the final scene of the opera.

Cons:

• Act II contains intermittent skipping.
