[…] locally, plus an interesting debut: the young Chilean Yaritza Véliz as Musetta. Daniela Tabernig grew gradually into her Mimì, well-sung though not very personal in the first two acts, but intensely dramatic in the last two, her lyric soprano expanding at climactic moments. Gustavo López Manzitti was once again our most reliable resident tenor: his Rodolfo was professional, powerful and personable (three "p" that define him). Young baritone Ricardo Crampton, after some apprentice years, is now ready for a firm career as a lyric baritone, with his fresh timbre, fine line and agreeable presence. And Véliz was a revelation: she has the sweet insinuating required voice for this coquette, she is musically accurate and plays the comedy well. The other bohemians were both individually and as partners of a group completely believable: Mario De Salvo, in excellent […]

[…] Of the others I liked Walter Schwarz (Brother Laurent), Vanesa Mautner (Gertrude, the wet-nurse) and Laura Polverini, a disinvolt Stéphano (though she has to interact with a grotesque invention, a man in armor).

[…] very new; the voice is adequate for Gilda´s requirements and she is musical; she lacks some creaminess and the personality that comes with time. Tenor Leonardo Pastore was uneven but had many good moments. There were agreeable contributions from Luciano Straguzzi (Sparafucile) and Vanina Guilledo (Maddalena), the revelation of a fine bass voice as Monterone (Nicolás Secco) and a good cast of "comprimari", especially Diana Salazar (Giovanna) and Ricardo Crampton (Count of Ceprano). A curiosity: for the first time in Argentina an innovation: the small parts of the Page and the Herald were sung by a countertenor, Damián Ramírez. Enthusiasm rather than quality from the Orquesta Sinfónica Municipal de Avellaneda and the ad-hoc choir, but César Tello conducted with conviction. Producer Jorge Luis Podestá managed […]
