Absolutely beautiful. She was in amazing voice that night.

This stage seems fairly small. Consequently this is a sort of "cabaret " production of Lucia and how lucky for the audience! Joan is practically in their laps!

Bless all those who sneaked in recorders and all those who might have looked the other way. Thank you for uploading it!

Just amazing and I am SO grateful that this is here for everyone to see and hear. It is important. The past is important. Singers learning the craft NOW need to see and hear these things. They are VITAL to the perpetuation of the craft.

Ah la Stupenda!!!! La voz más perfecta de la lírica.

Even at age 56, the Eb had ring and power...she was one of a kind.

I can’t imagine the setup one would’ve needed to bootleg opera in the 1980s. 😂 The equipment must’ve been ridiculously large and the only way I see this working is if you bought out an entire box for better privacy of your aforementioned setup. I mean whoever did this REALLY wanted to preserve it for the future. Lol I’m really glad they did because this is awesome but still it’s funny to think about.

Yes, absolutely amazing.

Great gem to share with us all! And with nothing more to say other than that WAS Lucia!!

Thank you for sharing! Always love seeing a new 'unearthed' Joan video
