Sutherland, Elvira - Apressati, Lucia...Soffriva nel pianto

Dame Joan Sutherland as Lucia and Pablo Elvira as her brother Enrico in duet from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, Act II. Conductor Richard Bonynge, Met, 1982

completely convincing as the teenager in love, Dame Joan shows us how to act in opera the second we see her on stage with her reaction to Normanno. The voice is PURE GOLD.

She sang 'soffriva nel pianto' to perfection. I couldn't possibly listen to another rendition after this. Brava!

[@sutherlandfan64]

The best Lucia ever!

5:46 l'accompagnamento del flicorno (tenore o baritono non riesco a distinguere, sembrerebbe baritono) è bellissimo e non ci sono altri termini più sofisticati. L'uso degli strumenti a fiato è molto suggestivo in Donizetti

[@rafaelpelaezf]

Pablo is still the best

I am glad you called this out. He is one of my favorite baritones and was taken too early. RIP, Maestro Elvira.

And she had the audacity to call Callas's acting hammy ?!

It was sometimes and she's allowed to her opinion
