"Everyone looks terrific.  Joyce DiDonato's marvelous Dejanira dominates the proceedings, courageously tracing an arc from anguished loneliness through deadly jealousy to maddened despair.  Her ravishing singing, always dead on pitch and displaying a wealth of natural-sounding graces, decorations, flawless trills and coloratura runs, complements emotionally astute verbal shading in recits."--David Shengold, Opera News of April 2006.
