What's so great about Dame Joan's Lucia and her other roles is that she gives and performs A LOT of details to perfection; the crescendo/decrescendo, the ornamented coloratura, and finally, the trills!! She doesn't only sing the big or long trills, but also the small trills and half trills that were usually omitted. That is why she excels in Bel Canto and Baroque repertoire which gave her the name La Stupendissima!

My parents were in the audience that night. (something I've always hated them for, LOL). My father said that the main emotion in the theater that night was shock. He was so in love with her singing that he started taking me to the opera to hear her as early as 7 years old. The first time I heard her was in 1970 in Norma and the last in 1986 in I Puritani. I rarely go to the opera anymore. The singing never sounds very good to me.

I'd love to know what Thelma Votipka, the Alisa. was thinking. She had sung the role at the Met with, among others, Pons and Callas. I was blessed to hear Sutherland sing this role three times in 1967.

I finally saw her as Lucia in 1982. The tix were so scarce that I had to register at a local college for an opera appreciation class! I had already seen her onstage many times before - it was disconcerting to hear a Wagner-size voice managing every single note and ornament in a difficult score. And the higher she went, the more brilliant it became.

As a vocal technician, that is definitely true! NO ONE could or would ever surpass Sutherland vocally. She was truly La Stupenda. Dramatically and musically though, I would still have to say La Divina surpassed La Stupenda. But thank goodness we had and have both to listen to and love.
