The Met can Learn a Beverage Lesson from Loftopera

"For Lucrezia’s outraged entrance in the next scene, soprano Joanna Parisi overturned a table more recklessly than even Teresa Giudice might dare. In fact, Ms. Parisi gave a superhuman performance in every sense of the word, lurching recklessly and even falling flat on her face several times in those skyscraper Louboutins. Under the circumstances it’s remarkable she could sing at all, but the miracle was that she sang so well, in a big, vibrant spinto with confident flexibility and a rich, earthy chest register."
