Joan Sutherland, Dead



Here she is with her frequent collaborator, Luciano, from Lucia di Lammermoor.  I remember Willie making some very funny comments about her equine features.

Link to announcement in the NYT here.

She had a gorgeous voice but had the "jawbone of an ass." The vision of this moose in the role of an ingenue was, at times, mind boggling. But, she came across as a very kind person. RIP "La Stupenda."

When I first read the headline "Soprano Joan Sutherland Dies," I thought she might have played Tony's one-legged goumada.
