La soprano sueca brindó un recital sólido, prácticamente sin fisuras y superando con éxito las dificultades que plantean arias como "In questa reggia". Por su parte, el bajo búlgaro estuvo a la altura y, si bien no terminó de cautivar en el célebre "Nessun dorma", evidenció por lo demás dominio y empaque.
