Joan Sutherland - The Reluctant Prima Donna (2/3)

2006 BBC Documentary on the career of Dame Joan Sutherland - focusing on Lucia and Alcina.

Documentary about Dame Joan Sutherland, one of the greatest operatic performers of the late twentieth century, who died in October 2010. Shy and lacking in confidence, she had sung unnoticed at Covent Garden for seven years after arriving from Australia, but over the course of twelve months was transformed into La Stupenda.

Part three is on its way.
