http://www.mvdaily.com/ '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'.
