5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite Sutherland, February 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Donizetti - Lucrezia Borgia [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A great performance by a once in a lifetime performer with amazing vocal resources. Viewer from SF stating Sutherland was past prime is incorrect. This was filmed in 1976 when she was very much in prime. Second Covent Garden Borgia was done in 80 but voice still immaculate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brava, diva!!!!!!!!, May 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Donizetti - Lucrezia Borgia [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sutherland was in her dramatic best in this tape. The opera showed off her supreme powers as the only true Dramatic coloratura soprano of our time. Dame Joan was just slightly past her prime here, but that's still way good enough to make all other sopranos pale in comparison! Truly the "Voice of the Century"!

3.0 out of 5 stars Italian Opera no subtitles, March 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Donizetti - Lucrezia Borgia [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an opera in Italian. I couldn't understand a word of it. I was looking for a documentary/biography on Lucretia Borgia so I bought this video. While it is of great quality and would be appreciated by someone who understood Italian and appreciated opera, it is not my taste.
