Magnifica!!!!!!! I love Sutherland, but She comes from another planet. Best of all. Every single note and dinamica are PERFECTION. I, as italian, love this measure more than everything
Devia here does not remind me of a young Sutherland in any way whatsoever. No disrespect to you or any other opera lover whatsoever (if you love opera, I love you), but this is an Italian voice in an Italian woman who has an Italian soul and spirit, educated/trained at the St Cecilia in Rome. The great, great Sutherland didn't have an Italian bone in her body. This is a different thing altogether on the spiritual plane. Devia is the warmest woman to grace operatic stage in her decades, which continue - have you heard the Gounod from 2019? Such genuine singing and personality are not found elsewhere. Separately, I love her face. I cannot ever take my eyes off her face, millennia of pureblood Italian genetics are there. She is L'Italiana sine qua non.
Ms. Devia was somewhat sparing in adding ornamention, which I admire. The Lucia mad scene must be the single greatest scene for soprano. Just think: there's the audience of course, the orchestra naturally, but also you have the entire cast and chorus as your audience as well. Singing Lucia is not for the faint of heart! .
