I saw here in this role in this performace 2 days ago in Vienna. She sang the premiere at 1978 (!!!), that 31 years ago (!!!) and she is still wonderfull! Edita is a miracle!
She began her career as a soprano leggiero or more lyric coloratura, Queen of the NIght, Lucia, Zerbinetta but her voice has size to it, focus - wonderful projection into the theatre. Her only Verdi roles were Gilda and Violetta. She waited until almost 60 to add Norma to her repertoire and just this year (at 61) sang her first Lucrezia Borgia.
My favourite Lucia since I was fortunate to have seen her in The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, in 1988. What a n incredibly awesome performance that was in London, that night. Wow!! She left us mesmerised and won us over forever. I shall miss her following her sad and tragic death last year. 😭So sad.😔 May you rest in everlasting light Edita. Another great voice lost to humankind forever. Thankfully, your amazing recordings will be there for us and for posterity; to savour, enjoy and treasure your beautiful gift of a voice in a lifetime. 👍😢👋❤ You'll be sorely missed. RIP. 🙏
Yes, there is. There is quite enough character. The character is of Lucia as per Donizetti, therefore it is through the music, which is technically perfectly sung here and stylistically impeccable. It is correct. No more is needed.
I had a friend who just watched the great diva in this role a few weeks ago in Barcelona. GOSH I envy her. And to think it was her first ever live opera. And according to her, Edita was flawless as ever, ravishing, incandescent, fantastic!!!
You can't say she was the best Lucia ever without listening to Joan Sutherland! Her performance is unforgettable. Edita is great too, but not the very best to me

If I saw her singing I would cry even more than now... she is perfect! Fantástica!
l saw her 6-8 times in Wien as Lucia, in 1979-81, with Araiza or Dvorsky, as Edgardo .. she was my beloved vocal model
Qué magnifica cantante ha sido la Gruberova!!!
