I almost cried in the ending, how can love destroy such a life? It most be a really powerful, brave action to take; kill yourself for the sake of love.It is really amazing.

Arguably the greatest operatic lead actress in visually-recorded history. I am always enthralled by her dramatic interpretations, which are usually dead-on (no pun intended). Perhaps she should not have tried too many soprano roles, but we are lucky to have such fantastic archives of her talent nonetheless..

It's just the pitch that was common for that time, ie Lully's orchestra played at something around a=402
