Joan Sutherland as Lucia, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyEtkMWmFL4&feature=fvst" rel="nofollow">an early version</a>, just audio, and a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HiEjMufvj4" rel="nofollow">live performance</a>, some years later, and in some ways, better, IMHO.<br /><br />A lot of people assume opera is boring or they think they won't understand it. Until they see a good live performance, when the drama and the atmosphere is overwhelming and they realize the music is just a small part of it.
