Lucia Popp " In Trutina "

A soubrett turned light lyric soprano, Lucia Popp created many sensational roles on stage, one which is Gretel from "Hansel & Gretel", it was essentially how I came to study Popp. What I most enjoy is her beautiful upper range and her warm timber quality in the tone.

Joan Sutherland talks about high notes

A very helpful interview with Dame Southerland about her fabulous high registers and Tessitura.
"Bel conto is not just about beautiful singing, it has to be very dramatic, very alive..."
A ever great line by Richard Bonynge, Sutherland's husband and the person who discovered her true Fach.

ESVA!
