Edita sings Lucia's mad scene from a complete production from the Staatsoper in 1982. A poorly lit scene (or at least video) but it is taking place in a Scottish castle after all! Some nice use of chest voice also! One can hear and see why this role became one of her calling cards.

  • Right, I'm sure SHE came up with this idea!!! Stage Directors usually have the last say as to what takes place on stage along with the General Manager NOT the singer. She was probably doing what she was told to do.

  • Her turns are terrific. I don't love the tempo, and this interpretation is not her best. But she is the greatest Lucia of her generation.

  • not her best though, she could have been netter

  • Gruberova makes a very convincing Lucia; and I can honestly say she does it better than today's Anna Netrebko. Gruberova's voice in the Mad Scene comes off as effectively "sick", detached, cold, ghostly, eerie. She acts the part very well and looks perfectly "mad" as Lucia should. I love it!

  • Hmm, she's wearing a nightie rather than wedding dress, and where's the blood? She looks rather washed out in that wig and nightie too. But amazing voice. Terrific rendition.

  • and sheer beauty.

  • OMG!!!Nobody can sing better!!!

  • Gruberova is a god.
