Met return of "Così fan tutte"

Anthony Tomamasini, The New York Times:

“The soprano Susanna Phillips had what could be a breakthrough night at the Met as Fiordiligi, who is betrothed to Guglielmo. She has the purity and bloom of a Mozart lyric soprano. Yet her voice can lift phrases with penetrating sound and deep richness. She was especially exquisite in the poignant aria “Per pietà” (“Have pity”), when Fiordiligi shamefully realizes that she is weakening to the romantic entreaties of a stranger who is actually her sister’s lover in disguise.”
