“A strong cast was the most prominent factor in the return of Macbeth to the Gran Teatre del Liceu. Carlos Álvarez… in glorious voice and with a good sense of the psychology of the character. His dominating Lady was Guleghina… her dramatic presence is overwhelming, especially in her wonderful Sleepwalking scene”

“The drama of the piece is intensified by the sharp attack and crisp ensemble secured by the conductor...Even more than Carlos Alvarez as a fine Macbeth, Maria Guleghina dominates the performance as Lady Macbeth, singing with a generous vibrato, well controlled, and staring hypnotically”
