Title: Disappointing
Review: Anja Silja is someone I respect, and I am all for 'grey power', but this is a performance too far. In the opening scene her light grey trouser suit makes her look like an elderly Scandinavian tourist. She does not look sexually desirable. Her attempts to be sensual are simply embarrassing, as are some of the outfits she later fits into. Furthermore her voice has none of the mysterious warm colouring of Söderstrom in the excellent Mackerras LP version and is often stridently off the note. The supporting cast, orchestra and conductor are fine. The staging is ok, but not very innovative. Finally, why could we not have a Czech singer in this role, someone who does not have to strain to pronounce correctly?
