Your son will see many in his lifetime, but the first is special, no matter what it is, and this one is well worth his attention.
Teenaged boys should wear suits more often.
I found this review. https://www.wqxr.org/story/review-kathleen-battle-returns-met/She was invited for to give a recital at the Met, I think it was fall 2016.
I hope it sounded something like this performance, from earlier in the tour:Her ending encore Were you there when they crucified my lord, sung unaccompanied, was one the most remarkable vocal performances I have ever heard.

I have to admit that for me, no one can touch Marian Anderson's version of this spiritual and Battle doesn't even come close. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2EwljwjOPhsI hope it sounded something like this performance, from earlier in the tour:

I have not heard Lianna H., I wish I had.I was lucky to have heard some amazing voices at NYCO, Met Opera, and in recital when I was a teenager. While I get some of the trade-offs between old style and new style, old training to new training, modern vs. traditional productions, etc. etc., this season I've seen and heard two of the best depictions, dramatically and vocally, of Puccini heroines in a scary number of decades of opera-going: Yoncheva as Tosca and Lianna Haroutounian's Cio-Cio-San.
