Kristine Opolais’ critically lauded portrayal of Margherita in a premiere production of Boito’s Mefistofele can now be enjoyed on a DVD/Blu-ray release, available for pre-order via Amazon.com.

“Kristine Opolais, in her best singing and interpreting of the evening, was most moving . . . “L’altra notte,”as well as the rest of her Prison scene, was outstanding and her acting was, as usual, superb.”
