She half assed everything, but opened up in the concert. She refused to sing anything in Lithuanian, which is actually kind of as beautiful as Italian sometimes. That company is... well... what it is.

It was sponsored by a Lithuanian opera company and the publicity was mostly within that community. She sang lots of verismo stuff and was fantastic. Didn't see any reviews either.
