La viuda alegre conquista al público en el TN
“la reconocida soprano cubano-americana Elizabeth Caballero, en su papel de Ana Glavari, la viuda, quien logró cautivar a los presentes con su hermosa, impostada y muy entonada voz, quien por momentos cautivaba hasta el alma más fría. Por ejemplo, en el segundo acto, el más trabajado y elaborado de todo el espectáculo, al interpretar la  “Canción de la Vilia”. No hay dudas: fue el punto más luminoso de toda la noche.”
