Angela Gheorghiu (Violetta), Jonas Kaufmann (Alfredo), Anthony Michaels-Moore (Germont), John Hancock (Baron Douphol), Diane Elias, Leann Pantaleo, Earle Patriarco, LeRoy Lehr Eduardo Valdes

The Met greeted a new tenor as Alfredo: Jonas Kaufmann, a young German with a beautifully constructed voice, suspect perhaps in its upper reaches but otherwise filling the house nicely with an unforced clarity. Mr. Kaufmann approaches every musical detail and theatrical nuance with great care; he also looks good next to Mr. Zeffirelli's ravishing furniture and clouded mirrors. --BERNARD HOLLAND, New York Times
