"In her first portrayal of Lucia, she displays tremendous vocal talent and acting ability. I am tempted to describe her voice as delicate, but that word does not convey its power. A tiny woman, she nonetheless manages to fill the entire hall. From her ardent songs of love for Edgardo to her captivating mad scene aria, she enthralls."
