REVIEWS
French soprano Annick Massis is sensational as Countess Adele, with clear and beautifully etched coloratura, superb breath control and an exquisite appearance. She finds theatrical and emotional uses for all of Rossini’s vocal gestures, and she caps her Act I aria with a gorgeous high B-flat. Massis holds the note for ages, then diminuendos beautifully and promptly faints.OPERA NEWS

Lucia di Lammermoor
The Metropolitan Opera'' Annick Massis, who sang on 17th. Tall, lovely and primarily reserved, Ms Massis has one of the most beautiful, perfectly produced voices in the world. She moves gracefully and her fidgeting and nervousness, part of Ms Zimmerman’s direction, was noted and effective, but she does not really give the impression of fragility. That having been said, I suspect there will be no more enchanting singing at the Met this year than what Ms Massis offered.''
