The Netrebko is a bisl miscast here. She exaggerates. Pergolesi's Stabat Mater happens no 19te-century opera. A specialist in early music (the expert on early music) in Kulturradio awarded a single star for it; knowing full well that he is thus the wrath of Netrebko fans will pull. But he explained very well what Pergolesi requires and what makes Netrebko. It does not always fit (to put it mildly). I'm sorry.
