In Reply to: Being Australian, how do you feel about Joan Sutherland? posted by djprobed on November 29, 2002 at 07:03:04:
A half Aussie, I feel more than competent to answer that question.Before she became a Knight of the Realm, Sutherland was an eager and gifted young soprano of outstanding natural voice and agility. She generally eshewed consonants, which great facilitated her legato. No actress on stage, she was often unfairly compared with Callas' histrionics, but further study reveals good vocal acting abilities (her first Violetta comes to mind). I also hold her Donizetti in high esteem.
Early is best with Dame Joan, but there is plenty to enjoy and if you're no singer (or student of voice with an agenda and nits to pick) you can get a lot out of her work.
