Does anyone know the words to this aria

The voice in this scena reminds me of a great 747 sitting on the tarmac - impossible to imagine it ever taking off let alone soaring. And when it does, we are GOBSMACKED !!! Brava Joan - thanks for soooo much.

Either way.....Im stupified by her greatness!!

Sutherland was able to bring out the big vocal guns when needed and in a way that very few could match. Certainly, there is no-one around today in the same league. The fullness of tone, agility, unwavering stamina and stratospheric brilliance were amongst the many hallmarks of her unforgettable singing. Evviva la stupenda!

I love Sutherland so much, she is a Goddess!

Stupendous!
it's not because she's fortunate. it's because she worked her ass off.

RIP Dame Joan Sutherland, and god bless you.
In the 1950's Maria Callas reopened the doors for the belcanto reportoire, but you sustained it for the next 30 years. Trills, scales, a soaring range, evenness of tone and a perfect legato line - your ubiquitous voice with it's agility and pearl timbre was perhaps not the most versatile - but where you stayed within your dramatic coloratura court you were incomparable; you were La Stupenda, the stupendous one.
