This is stellar singing from one and all, and is available along with her second Met Sonnambula broadcast from 1968 in MOoD. I was lucky to see Sutherland from her very first USA appearance in Alcina (Dallas,1960) and lucky was I to enjoy such stellar performing for more than a quarter century. Other singers may have a more introspective approach to Sonnambula, but La Stupenda offers something different, and nowhere to be found in opera houses today.
