I’ve had bad luck with Archibald the only time I could see her. She was ill (and one could hear that in her voice) but agreed to sing Zerbinetta nonetheless. It was only ok (but for the acting, which was very very good). – but, as you say, she has a record of positive reviews and I am curious to hear her again.

No… I actually interviewed her recently and learned she had several bel canto debuts this year, Lucia included, so I wondered if her uniformly good reviews continue.

I am afraid I’ve missed Archibald’s Lucia… Have you seen her?

Did you ever catch Jane Archibald as Lucia? I think she debuted the role last year in Berlin.

I heard Calleja on a met broadcast 2-3 weeks ago and I was extremely impressed. I couldn’t believe my ears. I was totally astonished.

Poor Dessay… She didn’t have any chance…
