Joan Sutherland (1926-2010) was discovered as a bel canto soprano by her future husband, conductor Richard Bonning, and after her performance of the title role in "Lucia di Lammermoor" at Covent Garden on that historic night in February 1959, offers for performances and recordings poured in. The offers for performances and recordings poured in. Along with Boning, she achieved many artistic and commercial successes, and legendary Decca producer John Culshaw wrote in his autobiography that "throughout the United States, Joan Sutherland became so popular that her recordings were sold out as soon as they were released."In Italy, she was called "La Stupenda" (The Woman with the Incredible Voice), and in other countries, "Prima Donna Assoluta" (The Best Prima Donna), "Queen of Bel Canto" and "Voice of the Century" by audiences. In 1978, she was awarded the Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
