I adore Sutherland's Norma..especially '63 (though alas never saw her do it live). Ponselle is truly amazing in every way. It was a voice and approach that could do anything..and stunningly.

Sutherland was great in SOME segmwnts of Norma, not the whole opera
She didn't have or didn't develop the chest tones required for such role
Which calls for a voice both dramatic mezzo/contralto and coloratura soprano.

@avalokiteshivara Not a sfogato. At all.

Les aigus font tûût-tûût mais le legato est splendide.

Holy crap. Just...wow.

Ponselle, Cigna, Calllas ,Sutherland, and Verrett all bring something unique and special to NORMA . I find in these ladies a special quality that touches me each in their own unique way. Milanov sang the Norma arias well, very well ,but did not have the emotional fire the others had.

Sorry, Chris. I myself heard Sutherland and Horne in "Norma" in the 70's. Marilyn Horne outsang her, outvoiced her all the way. Bad night? Nope -- it was more than that. She was great, but NO Ponselle.

@AnnieLaurieScottie Come on, Sutherland? Sutherland, from all accounts was miraculous to hear in person.

@INTELIGENCIA666 Ponselle had the most beautiful voice, for sure. But she didn't accomplish 10% of what Callas did in 10 years. 100 Normas, 80 Medeas, as many Traviatas. The three most difficult roles sung at full throttle, and inventing new singing techniques with each role. Ponselle was a great singer. Callas was a conductor, an instrumentalist, a singer, and above all, an inventor, the Leonardo da Vinci of opera. There was a vast difference in their missions as individual artists.
