“The role [Musetta] was played by the guest soprano Andreea Novac. I knew almost nothing about her before the show, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear a good quality lyrical soprano voice coming to us from the capital city. All the sequences were excellently sang and the acting was convincing. Therefore we expect a quick return, in a bigger role.”
