Soprano Latonia Moore, "one of the voices of a century", will join

Angeles.
..."the astonishing American soprano Latonia Moore as Aida. Not
only does she have conspicuous clarity and superbly unsullied, open
tone, but thunderous, awe-inspiring power. The orchestra, even when they
ramp it all the way up to 11, is barely a match. But it’s not just
about power: she has genuine authority, thanks to commensurate skills as
a character actor. And the delicate control of her voice in more
subdued moments shows just how proficient she is in harnessing that
power, making for dynamics such as I’ve never heard on an opera stage. Her legato, as well, is flawless. It’s hard to believe her Met debut was only a matter of months ago; in Aida at that, stepping in at the 11th hour for Violeta Urmana. I’m not exactly going out on a limb in tipping her as one of the voices of the century.
