No soprano will ever be able to "color" like Dame Sutherland. She owned this role hands down. She was a true gift from God! Rest in peace La Stupenda.

@Richiesutherland Apparently you have not watched carefully enough (or at all) when Dessay performs the Mad Scene. Maybe to you a dream world is completely drugged with no idea of what just happened. As a soprano who has studied this mad scene, there are many different emotions happening here. Maybe you should take a little more time studying this part of the opera and less time bitching about what you know nothing about. I love Joan Sutherland too. She does a beautiful job. But so do others.

Ooh, how about that chesty, speechlike quality at 1:07! What a great color for the moment.

@Richiesutherland you´re correct Dessay´s a circus performer, the acting is poor and clownish, nothing to do with Romanticism and Donizetti. If only the voice could compensate for the bad acting!

@Richiesutherland Wow. One day I want to be as intelligent and well-informed as you.

Exquisite, spine-tingling bel canto. WTF is the deal with the muppet knockoffs??

@CaptFitzbattleaxe I bought a copy of who's afraid of opera :)

Clever cuts to get a 20-minute mad scene to fit in 10. Awesome clip!
-
@emma41093 Whoever has the copyright to these tapes really really really needs to put them on DVD. :)

How wonderful! Not for nothing is The Stupendo.
The drama is in the voice not only in body language as appears to be paramount today in so many singers are divas.
Thanks for uploading.

The thing that bothers me about the girls today (e.g. Dessay and Damrau) is that they never seem to be in a dreamworld. They are too angry (but then Dessay refuses to play any Mad Scene as anything but an opportunity to release her very obvious anger). To them, romantic madness means nothing--it has to be 21st Century, vicious, padded-cell madness, and this has NOTHING to do with the character (in this case) Donizetti wrote.
