Not a review; I just like to keep notes from the production I watched after readign the libretto:

Met Opera May 20, 2021 "Natalie Dessay stars as the sleepwalking heroine of Bellini’s La Sonnambula. Starring alongside the daring French soprano, the extraordinary bel canto cast also features tenor Juan Diego Flórez as Elvino, soprano Jennifer Black as Lisa, and bass Michele Pertusi as Rodolfo. Evelino Pidò conducts Mary Zimmerman’s 2009 production, available tonight, May 20." The unlikely plot is made a bit less unbelievable by the staging of this production on a Swiss stage set sitting in a New York rehearsal space.
