Ako Imamura, 29th January

El estreno de Iolanta y El castillo de Barbazul, retrasado a causa de la nieve, abrió con un poderoso canto y una escena muy efectiva. Los roles principales en Iolanta destacaron por una interprtación muy bella, mientras que en El castillo de Barbazul sobresalió la ejecución de la orquesta del Met.
