Powell ’08 were forced to move Friday’s performance to Saturday because Julia S. Cavallaro ’08, who plays Fiordiligi, came down sick.

In Mozart's Cost Fan Tutte, Connecticut's Teresa Stich-Randall made a long-overdue Metropolitan debut as Fiordiligi, displayed the purity, fullness and control that have won her ardent fans in Europe and on records.
