Latonia Moore dominated the second act as Musetta. Her unusually strong, yet musical voice made her a success as Aida in San Diego and at the Met. How readily she changed from tragic Queen to bawdy nightclub singer may have surprised many in the audience. She played the role with uninhibited comedic flair, while still doing justice to the well-known "Musetta's Waltz" in which she confidently praises her own seductive power.
Another standout was Latonia Moore as the fiery and flirtatious singer Musetta. San Diego Opera audiences are accustomed to seeing Moore in darker roles, and this allowed her to comically cut loose.
