Summary: Unbelievable
Review: I cannot believe how bad this performance is. I remember putting it in my player with a smile on my face in anticipation...and 20 minutes later I was tearing my hair out in bodily pain and slapping myself in disbelief. If you love lucia like I do, you will be scarred forever after listening to how badly it was butchered by sutherland and co. Please save your money. I don't think sutherland is the best lucia, but she's infinitely, infinitely better than this elsewhere.

Summary: Amazing
Review: People on here constantly say JS should have retired years before she did. I for one am glad she did not. I saw here three times in the late eighties, twice in concert, once in Anna Bolena and she did not disappoint. The minute she opened here mouth you knew who u were listening to; her voice is unique.I remember watching this performance for the first time some years ago; it was broadcast on satellite in the Uk by BSB. I remember thinking it must have been a recording from the late seventies and was amazed on finding the date of the performance was 1986. Sutherland's voice is incredibly fresh; you won't hear a better Lucia; her opening scene and the following Regnava etc is amazing; and would have been amazing is he were 30 at the time of recording rather than 60. I have all the vidoes and dvd's of JS. This without a doubt (although Lucrezia, Anna Bolena and Norma are close); is the best I have heard her sing on visual media. Her acting is credible; her voice, for a grandmother, is startling. Buy this!

Summary: A terrific performance of an opera I have seen many times.
Review: Sutherland is superb as Lucia. The production was as good as I have seen. It lent it self well to experiencing it via DVD.

Summary: background noise
Review: This is a great recording. The artists performance are excellent. Sutherland is excellent despite she isn't in her glorious days. The only problem: the sound is not that excellent thing. There is an inconvenient (high)background noise in the whole recording.
