Madama Butterfly review – Grigorian inhabits the part to a degree one does not often experience
★★★★
Asmik Grigorian is the standout attraction in this revival of Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s 2003 uncluttered production
Physically and vocally, Grigorian inhabits the part to a degree one does not often experience. This Cio-Cio-San makes a long and horribly believable journey from innocence to devastation. Grigorian’s range of vocal colour and weight, equal to almost all the varied demands that Puccini makes of her, is the chief glory.

A king, a chorus, etc.
Nabucco is a grand opera, calling out for a grand opera house—a house of grand opera and an opera house that is grand. The Met is certainly that.
Verdi’s Nabucco is one of the most choral of operas. The chorus is virtually the lead “singer” of the show. As James Levine built a sterling orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera, Donald Palumbo has built a sterling chorus—or he has at least burnished it, let’s say. Earlier this month, the Met announced that Mr. Palumbo would step down at the end of the current season (just started).
