I saw the Jan. 3rd performance of I Puritani. Ms. Netrebko was excellent but it was Mr. Relyea as Giorgio who was the best performance of the evening. His bass-baritone voice was remarkable and I look forward am anxious to follow his career. Franco Vassallo as Riccardo was disappointing and he was frequently unable to carry his voice over the orchestra.
