The production looks like a fine one. Moldoveanu seems to me to be an underrated tenor (I'd never heard/seen him before but had read some negative comments about him); the only criticism I'd make is that he seems rather wooden as an actor. For Posa I'd prefer a more strictly lyric voice than Milnes' essentially dramatic one (as much as I love Milnes in general, Simon Keenlyside is "my" Posa), but it can't be denied that he presents a very strong yet good-hearted characterization.
