"What makes this performance rather special is the acted and sung interplay between Scotto and Domingo. The way she jumps up into his arms and he carries her to the coach is an effective and touching moment, as is their mutual support in the waterless desert of act four. Their duets together in each act, whether expressing tentative infatuation, ardent passion, or a mixture of hope or desperation are the guts of Puccini's creation and what makes this performance worth seeing. James Levine's conducting of the orchestra holds the whole together in an exemplary manner." MusicWeb
