   'Making her Los Angeles Opera debut at this premiere performance
   was Yali Marie Williiams who substituted for the indisposed Maria
   Jose Montiel. Williams' Luisa was a honey-voiced village girl
   who came close to matching super star Placido Domingo in romantic
   fervor and vocal power. On this evening, Domingo played a role
   which his father had often played, that of Vidal Hernando who
   steps aside so that Luisa can marry a younger lover. His rendition
   of the character's melodic music was enthralling and his
   interpretation will be remembered for years to come.'

Maria Nockin, writing in today's Music & Vision magazine about
Torroba's zarzuela 'Luisa Fernanda'.
