“Dutoit is a proven master of the French repertoire, which he conducts with a wondrous combination of crisp precision and rhythmic freedom . . . He had a superb cast at his disposal as well, headed by mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as a knowing, lustrously dark-toned Concepcion.”

Joshua Kosman – SFGate

“American lyric mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard is of Argentinean ancestry on her mother’s side, and her Latin good looks made her persuasively Hispanic (and charmingly seductive) in the central role of the would-be naughty wife Concepcion. She also sings with a lovely tone and suitably saucy French accent. Try as she might, her character is thwarted in her attempts at flirtation and adultery as the slim but amusing plot unfolds.”
