Back again to watch the Best!!! Absofreakinglutely Awesome!!!! First heard Dame Joan sing this in 1975 and have loved Her singing since that day! Love Callas and Sills in this Mad Scene....but.....nuttin touches this I'll come back and watch this again in a few months 😎😎😎
Absolute perfection. Oh my Lord. The flute cadenza in this recording must be one of the greatest moments of recorded vocal virtuosity in the history of opera. Just astounding.
She is an inspiration and an icon for me. I wish I could sing Lucia's part someday. That's my dream - to master my singing to be able to sing like Joan.
I saw her several times, and her acting could be decent when she was directed well. There are singers who hold your attention even when standing perfectly still and whose bodies and movements naturally express the music they're singing. Sutherland was not one of those. Zeffirelli has written about the lengths he had to go to make her Lucia acting credible, giving her a ton of stage business to do, to run up and down the stairs, etc. With good direction, she was a credible but never a natural actress.
@@Shahrdad Her voice was ALWAYS expressive, though, which to my taste is more important in bel canto than "credible" acting. The voice expresses the emotion with text emphasis, ornamentation, portamenti, phrasing, messe di voce, etc. I'd much rather hear all that and see no expression than to hear it sung badly by a great actress. If I want good acting, I'll go to see a play with Cherry Jones or Laurie Metcalf or whoever... at the opera, first and foremost, I want to hear amazing feats of singing. If the acting is good too, icing on the cake.
David Root I never found her singing that expressive. She rather always sounded the same, though good conductors could milk more expression out of her than Bonynge. It was great singing, but never that expressive.
Callas had other things to commend her. But the voices were not comparable and even Callas would admit that. Everything about Sutherland's voice and vocal production was perfect. Callas had inherent defects and even at its best it was not a pretty voice. And based on the massive decline (no it wasn't weight loss), she had technical defects that she never addressed. Her peak was about 4 years. Sutherland's was 20+. Callas,s voice was huge,and flexible, for a few years, but it was not beautiful. Now if you want talk about drama then yes, she was untouchable. Unfortunately, for me, when you just have audio, that is not enough.
Arnold Amaral nonsense, her 1982 Lucia at the Met was the pinnacle of her career. The high notes were still there, the mezza voce was much richer and the acting was much more subtle, no unnecessary stomach cramps and other exaggerations.
Joan is so beautiful---physically---omg....and sings like a legendary 19th C prima donna come back to life---Persiani, Grisi, Lind. People who saw her in the 1960's say the audiences used to go beserk, melt down when she sang....this shows why...omg....
jhssuthrnmama - Your statement is not very nice, what you wrote about the appearance of J.S. I can not confirm that! It is your very personal opinion, because you probably did not know her. She sings so heavenly, she does not have to look like a model. The same applies to Cecilia Bartoli.

Introducing Miss Sutherland and her performance is Mel Brandt, a long-time NBC voice announcer. His most famous work was the voice-over announcement accompanying an animated peacock -- "The following program is brought to you in living color on NBC".
It was an exciting Nordic cool voice with just a slight vibrato. A hoch dramatic soprano with incredibly flexibility and a strong throat that chirped an enormous round sound. Many roles worked in this huge but lyric voice. The steely yet girlish aspect early on the career was rounded fully by the late 60’s. This took out a lot of diction, yet firmed the voice and gave it an ethereally large edifying quality. It was certainly not Mediterranean in tone at all and lacked the textual vowels and constants that are supposed to be clear in that Italian Bel Canto repertory for sure. Few cared with such scale, power and incredible ease of the legendary top. The sound is like a vibrating bandsaw and a rounded photon laser beam. Glorious in coloratura legato and power cabalettas.
It might be shallow of me, though no one would ever doubt the beauty of her voice, but it's a shame she didn't let her gorgeous natural red hair down more often.
I don't think so unless it was the same wig from the 1961 Met Opera performance. She had her hair down more often in her earlier career before she switched to the helmet hair style of the 70's.
You're correct. Her natural hair color was brown, then she dyed it blond for a while in the 50s and settled on red. In her early years with Lucia, she always wore her own hair down, and in several other operas. I remember seeing it in the last act of Traviata when I was a kid. I must say I missed her natural hair later on, but I think it was just easier and neater for her to wear wigs. This is dwfinitely her own hair,

Yma Sumac, cantante peruana ya fallecida, sin parangón. Mi tía, nacida en 1925, fallecida 1986, debutó con 14 años con este aria en examen Conservatorio Málaga. Más potencia que María Callas, oído PERFECTO, tiple ligera (por defecto en aparato fonético, lo tenía al contrario) hasta Fa sobreagudo y coloratura. Su maestra fue Lolita Pitto Santa Olalla, que estudió con María Barrientos (nacida en Málaga). Mi tía fue solista Masa Coral de D.

Probably the greatest singer who ever lived but in this clip I feel like I'm watching Lily Munster sing Lucia. But that last Eb. Nobody before or since has sung that note that way. And no, Callas never sang a spot on focused enormous ringing spinning Eb. She did sing very loud ones though.
Jonathan Wallach CALLAS WAS THE GREATEST MY FRIEND. Just look @ her repertoire my friend she could swing anything Joan could sing. But DAME joan I'm not sing Macbeth, Nabucco, Medea. Etc, Tosca very well indeed. That is an Undisputed fact La Divina Para Siempre.

@@arnoldamaral7406 You seem to think that quantity is quality. It isn't. Callas also sang Carmen. Listen to her next to Horne. She sounds like shit. Yeah, she sang a ton of stuff that made her ruin her voice and be on the verge of vocal catastrophe at an age when Sutherland made her debuts. Fanboy. Sutherland actually sang a very fine Tosca and the finest ever recorded Turandot. Callas sang everything, no dispute. No dispute that it was also quite ugly and it resulted in the end of her voice in her early 30s. In fact, she retired every role Sutherland sang as soon as Sutherland sang them and refused to sing on the stage with her after Sutherland became a star. Hmmmmmm. Wonder why?
I like Joan's version for what it's for but I love Inva Mula version the best and Ana Moffo second because their vocals sound much richer, but still not taking away from Joan.

Absolute perfection. Oh my Lord. The flute cadenza in this recording must be one of the greatest moments of recorded vocal virtuosity in the history of opera. Just astounding.
Dame Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti will be forever my favorite opera stars.
The most beautiful voice
The greatest Lucia, and the greatest singing voice I have ever heard. Many thanks for the post.
The innocence, the despair, the broken promises, a love that defies death, expressed through her voice.
Just like Bel Canto should be
La plus grande lucia pour moi et pour toujours 👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
She was really something stupendous.
Quite simply amazing....there's just not enough superlatives to say about the quality of this singing. Beautiful beyond compare!
Her voice is so emotive and beautiful. Thanks
its soo beautiful.
God Bless you Joan Sutherland.. Incredible voice and technique , we miss you.
Incredible. Such an amazing and gorgeous woman.
She is an inspiration and an icon for me. I wish I could sing Lucia's part someday. That's my dream - to master my singing to be able to sing like Joan.
Mine too haha.
Many successes for you and me! Surely with work we will achieve it
Perfection in every sense of the word. Just sublime
How can people even dare to qualify her acting as emotionless ? Here she's really portraying madness well

The incomparable Joan Sutherland.
She was simply the greatest dramatic coloratura soprano who ever lived; no one else comes close.
Perfection. After her sang this and any others operas, no one come closer and never will.
She never was a dramatic coloratura.
She was a castrati

Jonathan Wallach THANK YOU!! Finally someone addresses the facts with detail, again thanks for putting it out there.👏🏾
she is acting the madness really good
And to believe it was filmed all in one take .... Breathtaking and totally amazing !! We miss her talent so much ....
it's not so hard to believe since she really sang and performed like this live for her entire career.

Physically beautiful? Eh, no. She looked like a man, like Cecilia Bartoli now does, but both of them have/had the most beautiful of voices.

The same applies to Cecilia Bartoli.
Anyway beauty is subjective, I find her beautiful, she has an uncommon charm.
@@jhssuthrnmama the fact that you think Bartoli had a good voice is enough to say you know nothing about this. Go listen to popera

This video highlight dates from late 1961 or early 1962.Miss Sutherland was appearing on the NBC-TV network program "The Bell Telephone Hour".
It was taped when she was in New York for her first season at the Met (November-December 1961) and was shown on TV in 1962.
