Musically, there's little to be desired. Above all, Bernard Bagger and the Ettlingen Chamber Orchestra create an excellent foundation for the singers. These are dominated by Paulina Rodriguez Busquets, who more than fulfills all expectations of a Maria: magnificent singing, captivating acting – an ideal casting choice. No one else performs at this level, perhaps only Manar Elsayed as the spirited Anita.
