”...standout performance(s) from Liana Guberman as Donna Anna...in this production, Donna Anna was, at least for a moment and in full view of the audience, a willing participant in her seduction. Guberman allowed that moment to fully humanize her, which made Donna Anna a culpable, sensual and relatable woman rather than the cipher she so often is...reactions to her tenderly persuasive "Non mi dir" made the moment a poignant scene rather than a diva showpiece...” - Joanne Sydney Lessner

”The Met, to be sure, had bigger singers, but the cast was strong overall, and several of the young singers in the Mannes production should have big careers. I've waited half a century to hear the trill and appoggiatura executed correctly in measure 110 of Donna Anna's aria "Non mi dir," as Liana Guberman did. ” - Spengler
