It's hard for this heart to take it... It's as if the floodgates of the biggest dam in the world had broken, and the biggest "avalanche" of sound came out 🙆🏻‍♂️🎶🤩

Dame Joan never ceases to AMAZE all of us . The ornamentations are astonishing and the sheer beauty of her vocal tone is without peer.

Stupendous! The voice very rich and opulent with that unparalleled technique. I heard her 1985 Lucia in the same theatre and it was incredible still. Probably one of the last great divas, along with Caballe. Singers like this no longer exist and won't ever again. The world is a very different place. Thanks so much for posting.

There's a mistake in the introduction! The Lucia was 1959 of course.

@@ahogbin2644 It's not a mistake, her debut was 1952, her 1st lucia was 1959.

Question; was this staged?

@ahogbin2644 9 ай бұрын

I think it was. It was part of a big gala. Geraint Evans did some Falstaff too.

According to Edward Greenfield’s book about Joan, she was originally asked to sing the “Libera Me” from the Verdi Requiem for this tribute. There wasn’t enough time to rehearse it, so the LuciaMsd Scene was substituted.
