Joan Sutherland was one of the most celebrated sopranos of the 20th century, renowned for her impeccable technique, crystal-clear voice and astonishing agility. Born in Sydney, Australia, in 1926, Sutherland began her musical studies as a pianist, but was encouraged to pursue singing by her mother. She made her professional debut in 1947, as Dido in Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas," and in 1951 won the Mobil Quest, Australia's most prestigious singing competition. However, it was her breakthrough performance as Lucia di Lammermoor at London's Royal Opera House in 1959 that launched her on the international stage and established her as one of the greatest singers of her time.

She was particularly celebrated for her interpretations of the bel canto repertoire, including the works of Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. Her performances in this genre earned her the nickname "La Stupenda," and she became synonymous with the role of Lucia di Lammermoor, which she sang over 200 times throughout her career.
