I too saw Anderson in L.A. at the Dorothy Chandler pavillion, singing this very scene. But I thought it was in 1981. What if it was this one? Wow! Anyone know whether or not she sang Lucia in L.A. in '81 too? Superhartline

June's Lucia is excellent. Today's sopranos are smart not to do a campy, over-the-top Mad scene & instead focus on technique and coloratura, but Lucia's Mad Scene does call for some acting & expression. The best way to do the Mad Scene is the way June does it. She does it like a Sleep Walking Scene, slow, eerie, detached, ghostly. That's the way to sing Lucia. Others who have done it like this have include Edita Gruberova & Joan Sutherland.

Woo no conocía esta versión, maravillosa, que voz tan limpia y que control, brava.

I was blown away by her Lucia in LA in either 1989 or 1991ish. I remember being stunned by this woman in a nightgown running around some tombstones. I was so moved by her performance.

lucia di lamermoor is perhaps the MOSTCOMPELLING HEROINE of the operatic repetoire

I will never forget the amazing performance Ms. Anderson gave of this in Chicago. (Lyric Opera) It was flawless!
-
love the video, it gives a phantasmagoric appearance to Lucia...quite poetic. Otchen jorosho.

Por que la Callas es La Callas...y nadie se da cuenta que ya paso a mejor vida, y todos esperan que vuelva otra Callas pero esta generacion no la va a ver, igual no ha habido otro Mozart Bethoveen Chopin Bach cada uno unico en su estilo

Her voice sounds rather like Sutherland's here, which I think works to her advantage.
Joanie will always be my favourite Lucia, but Anderson really suprised me by doing a pretty damn fantastic job!
I was blown away, considering how awful her Sempre Libera was.
Porque seguismo con la mania de Comparar a cualquier soprano con "La Callas", Nadie dice que no fue Excelente... Pero ahora es el momento de otras... No comparemos... A veces las comprarciones son MALAS !

Agreed. Callas and Anderson should not be compared. They are both phenomenal singers, but each differs in her own regard.
