Alevtina Ioffe conducts Le Nozze di Figaro at Seattle Opera

«From the lithe, punchy overture through any number of delicious woodwind solos, the Seattle Symphony sounds excellent under conductor Alevtina Ioffe. (...) Among uniformly solid performances, the vocal highlight, recipient of Saturday's warmest ovation, was «Deh vieni non tardar», Susanna's (Soraya Mafi) Act IV serenade; Mafi and Ioffe stretched the closing phrases seductively and poignantly, as if reluctant to let the moment go.»
