Product Description
CD89417 Sills in Lucia - Houston 1971
To commemorate the birthday of Beverly Sills (May 25), here's a performance of Lucia from Houston.
The recording was made from the wings on one side of the stage, which makes the sound a bit lop-sided. The voices are always clear, but are louder and more present when nearer the side with the recorder. Also, as the recorder was backstage behind the curtain, you can hear, at the beginning and end of each scene, stagehands putting things in place and a few cue calls from the stage manager. The music is briefly muffled when the curtain is down at the beginning and end of a scene.
Nevertheless, I think this is a worthy performance of one of Sills' signature roles.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
