Hersh, I saw that Lucrezia Borgia and hated it. It was everything that's wrong with opera in Washington. Sondra Radvonovsky sang the Lucrezia. All the voices were very good. The opera itself has problems. First, it sounds like second rate Donizetti. Second, the audience laughed throughout the opera. IT ISN'T A COMEDY! Bad direction.
