Beautiful. I love Sumi Jo.. her control is absolutely amazing. She’s beautiful, her voice is beautiful, her presence and performance are beautiful. IMO the best coloratura around. It’s cute how she bounces around, too lol. I’d love to see a video of her playing this role.

Jo has a very beautiful, agile, vibrant and pure leggero voice. However, I think she could put a little more dramatic meaning in the musical phrases, as I also noticed the melody sometimes sounded sort of “mechanical” or underprepared in terms of expression and tempo. Her vocal interpretation was amazing (despite some flawed ornaments), but I think she could’ve used her spectacular vocal skills to make a better fusion of drama and music, especially since this is a Mad Scene. Anyway, brava!
