3...A happy choice was made with the mezzo soprano Celeste Haworth.... In Sesto's aria from Mozart's 'Clemenza di Tito' she flaunted effortless coloratura, but even this was outclassed by her charmingly sung and acted presentation of Rosina's aria from Rossini's "Barber". The 'Habanera' from Bizet's "Carmen" depicted the jubilant acclaimed finale.
.".. With her charmingly darkened mezzo soprano voice... Celeste Haworth demonstrated versatility even in a short program: Rossini's Rosina aria from the 'Barber of Seville" ("Una voce poco fa") announced a well running technique, while the Rose-song from the Berlioz song cycle "Les nuits d'été" demonstrated a flair for melancholy.

3“Rame Lahaj (...) radiates unbridled passion across the water.”
“As Alfredo Germont the Kosovar tenor Rame Lahaj perfectly conveyed the naiveté of a very young man who would fall heedlessly in love with a society woman, oblivious of the extent to which she lives off the generosity and sexual needs of wealthy benefactors. His duet with Alleaume towards the end of the opera, when they are trying to delude themselves into re-imagining a happy future in Paris (“Parigi, o cara“), was striking in the contrast of vocal color between them: Alleaume clearly conveyed the ravages of a mortal disease as Lahaj bloomed in oblivious full health.”
