“The score was delivered by a sensational lineup of singers, guided by conductor and Bellini expert Fabio Biondi… Soprano Kristina Mkhitaryan totally nailed Giulietta in this phenomenal and touching performance, her voice always crystal-clear whether on the softest of higher notes or in the warmer lower registers. With her velvety voice, mezzo Nino Surguladze was equally dazzling as Romeo. The blend of voices was superb, with both women beautifully articulating the fragility and fierceness of teenagers in love.”
