is this the Lorraine Hunt who died of breast cancer at 52?

I cannot stop watching this. It's beyond anything I've ever seen or heard. So dedicated, so much pain, and so real. I am in awe.

OMG! I've been watching it over and over! Incredible! True angels. Nothing like the pop tart wannabes. Classic. Thank You for posting.

I think this updated production was set against the 1970s-80s backdrop of middle-eastern hostage crises. I was at first mystified by the 'choreography' but it then seems to reflect the Stockholm Syndrome experienced by many hostages with their captors, reflected in James Maddalena's acting of Achillas (Ptolemy's Captain of the Guard), interacting with Sesto and Cornelia. Very, very moving.

Exceptionally beautiful. Music, voice, acting and everything else.... This is the kind of opera no one can refuse.

@LICIAbug13579 A gorgeous voice, wonder where she is now.
Good gravy, this is amazing. I find myself watching it over and over and over and over again. This clip is just so saturated with emotion that it's almost unbearable (in the most perfect way, of course).
One of the few "modern" productions I've seen that really affects me on a deeper level. Sensational.

This is just perfect! Those two voices blending so well convey a moment of indefinite peace and emotion. Hunt Lieberson's timbre must be one of the most heavenly and beautiful ever heard, and her phrasing and legato is faultless. I don't like modern productions a lot, but with such good actresses the movements became quite credible and, yes, interesting.
