It was not until the early hours, he wrote, that the Met's audience heard Birgit Nilsson paying tribute to James Levine with a few bars of "Ho-jo-to-ho" from her signature role, Brünnhilde. Despite the absence of some singers, like <a href="/wiki/Ben_Heppner" title="Ben Heppner">Ben Heppner</a>, due to scheduling clashes, and of others, like <a href="/wiki/Cecilia_Bartoli" title="Cecilia Bartoli">Cecilia Bartoli</a> and <a href="/wiki/Luciano_Pavarotti" title="Luciano Pavarotti">Luciano Pavarotti</a>, due to health issues, the concert was a "thrilling, if exhausting spectacle" replete with vocal talent. The gala's cast list ranged from veterans like the 71-year-old Carlo Bergonzi to newcomers like the 32-year-old Roberto Alagna.<sup id="cite_ref-ap_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ap-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Alagna was more impressive than he had been in a recent <i>La Bohème</i>. His contributions to the Pearlfishers' Duet and the Cherry Duet from <i>L'amico Fritz</i> were both lovely. Two other young tenors – Jerry Hadley and Richard Leech – both sang well too, but no other representatives of their peer group put in an appearance: instead the Met heard the elderly Bergonzi and Alfredo Kraus and the 55-year-old Plácido Domingo, as suave as usual in a trio from <i>Ernani</i> and a duet from <i>Faust</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-ap_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ap-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bryn Terfel displayed his "ebullient" Leporello in addition to duetting with Alagna in Bizet, his "booming, mellifluous baritone and utter ease and gracefulness as a performer [marking] him as one in a million".

On the last occasion on which Nilsson had appeared at the Met, in its 1983 <a href="/wiki/The_Metropolitan_Opera_Centennial_Gala" title="The Metropolitan Opera Centennial Gala">Centennial Gala</a>, she had sung Isolde's Narrative and Curse. In the Levine gala, that was the passage offered by Waltraud Meier. Her performance was "thrilling", but she was a mezzo-soprano venturing into soprano territory, and the stress evident in her highest notes made one anxious as to whether she was pursuing a path that was right for her.<sup id="cite_ref-ap_4-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ap-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Dawn Upshaw was "typically simple, silvery and winning" in Mozart's "Deh!

It was "a sort of melodious circus – a celestial vaudeville". There were consequently many awkward transitions. For example, Jane Eaglen's noble rendition of the immolation scene from <i>Götterdämmerung</i> was followed by the broad comedy of Frederica von Stade in the tipsy aria from <i>La Périchole</i>; the effect was to "dissipate the solemn afterglow of the one and make the other seem goofy and tasteless".<sup id="cite_ref-wp_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wp-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Von Stade also supplied "one of the evening's true glories" in a performance of Cherubino's "Voi che sapete" [omitted from DG's DVD and CD]. "Opera has recently offered little more wonderful than von Stade's interpretation of that famous ardent, hormone-crazed pubescent boy". Also outstanding were Carlo Bergonzi and Alfredo Kraus, skillfully making the most of resources depleted by old age; Ileana Cotrubas, "ripely and irresistibly nostalgic" in <i>Giuditta</i>; Plácido Domingo, combining "magnificent vocalizing and the most acute artistic intelligence" in <i>Don Carlo</i> and <i>Faust</i>; Renée Fleming, "luscious and immaculate" in <i>Louise</i>, <i>Don Giovanni</i> and <i>Der Rosenkavalier</i>; Waltraud Meier, singing Isolde's curse with "thrilling ferocity"; and Ruth Ann Swenson, compensating for her technical deficiencies in a coloratura showpiece from <i>Roméo et Juliette</i> with character and intelligence.<sup id="cite_ref-wp_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wp-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There were disappointments too.

Alagna had "a light, sweet and supple voice of moderate size (some high notes that were both delicate and ringing) and a not inconsiderable dramatic ability", but it was far too soon to bracket him with Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti. Gheorghiu was much more impressive, with "a voice of unusual and haunting timbre, a distinctive creative personality [and] attention to the sheer phonic sound of the words she sings".<sup id="cite_ref-wp_5-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wp-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>None of the soloists, though, could outshine the orchestra and their conductor.

Waltraud Meier was incandescent in Isolde's Narrative and Curse. Carlo Bergonzi was touching and elegant in <i>Luisa Miller</i>.

Sharon Sweet was "strident" in <i>La forza del destino</i>. Frederica von Stade demonstrated that "charm conquers all" with "her still boyish Cherubino and irresistibly tipsy Périchole".

Grace Bumbry was a wobbly old Dalila, and Gwyneth Jones an even wobblier Turandot. Dawn Upshaw's eloquent ornamentation in a "silver-bell" "Deh! Vieni, non tardar" was jarringly followed by the Jerry Hadley slathering on the schmalz in "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz". Maria Ewing "yowled" Gershwin's "My man's gone now" with her hands rather oddly thrust into her pockets.

Indeed, the playing of the Met orchestra was more enjoyable to listen to than any of the singers, and both were surpassed by the album's closing speech by Birgit Nilsson. After explaining how Swedes customarily behaved on such occasions, she said: "'But since I am a daughter of the Vikings, I will do it my way.'
