Sylvia Stoner as Helena seemed to glow from within.
Stoner had Carolina’s blushing-maiden routine down just so, but she could throw a fine fit too, and all with a soprano of creamy loveliness.
Sylvia Stoner is a gorgeous Tatiana with high Slavic cheekbones and such a voice! In her wonderful letter aria it seems that her beautiful clear soprano was made for this very space — it fits it as perfectly as Cinderella fits the slipper. What’s more, she’s a most moving actress.
