RECORDING INFORMATION SIX NEW CLASSIC OPERAS CELEBRATING THE 80th BIRTHDAY OF DECCA's GREATEST SOPRANO Dame Joan Sutherland celebrates her 80th Birthday on November 7th 2006 Joan Sutherland's first recording of Bellini's bel canto masterpiece An essential part of any opera collection, this legendary Decca recording features Dame Joan Sutherland in one of her greatest stage roles as Bellini's tragic priestess. She is joined by the equally outstanding Marilyn Horne as her friend and rival Adalgisa. Norma is arguably the greatest female role in all opera - made famous by the popularity of the divinely beatiful aria Casta Diva. Joan Sutherland has said that, along with Verdi's Violetta (La Traviata) it remains her favourite stage role, as it presents a fully rounded dramatic portrait, expressed through music of unsurpassed beauty and dramatic power. |
