Elizabeth Byrne stepped into the role of Senta at the last minute and drew decent reviews. Herald critic T.J.

Both critics noted that she struggled a bit with high notes.

A spokesperson for the BSO said that it was not yet clear whether Voigt would be able to return on March 15 for the BSO's final Dutchman.

The BSO's performances are conducted by music director James Levine, and also feature Juha Uusitalo as the Dutchman.
