"Soprano Ana María Martínez proved an affecting Mimì, projecting a rich, resonant, well-centered tone with a rosy bloom. Santa Fe audiences will remember her portrayals of Rossini and Mozart heroines in past seasons (Fiordiligi in 2003, Donna Elvira in 2004, Rosina in 2005), but her singing has ascended to a higher plateau in the years since, with the happy result that this production is anchored by a figure of international vocal stature."
