No attitudes, Joan Sutherland just delivered the best.
I've heard hundreds of young girls' and young women's voices that are much, much better.

You have to go back to Renata Tebaldi, Claudia Muzio, Rlizabeth Rethberg and Rosa Ponselle to find her equal. Plus she was a person who refused to conform to a mould, especially in a time when women tended to have less freedom than they enjoy now. Watching her facial position and breath are textbook examples for anyone studying classical operatic technique. She is really gifted with a crystal clear voice and a light tone. Mirusia uses that great gift of her voice do good for others and seems so unchanged as a person despite all her success.
Just a week or two later was when she lost her voice while singing as Minnie in "Fanciulla". And one more thing... People, don't lose your nerves about voting (previous comments) because we all know that they are based on multiple voting, not on quality of the artist! Would prefer picking one from all the voice categories which are many.Marilyn Horne is a mezzo-soprano opera singer with an amazing ability to sing beautiful coloratura passages. Anna "lives" her part (s) and has a great sense of humor.Viewing this singer on YouTube is a lesson in bel canto. This is my October project.
She has the cleanest and clearest singing voice I have ever heard in 60 years and her pitch is perfect. Her accolades speak for themselves:Mirusia has a beautiful voice, and a passion for her profession. Her magnificent voice, her spellbinding presence, her amazing acting skills and the great respect she has for the music she sings (by choosing productions that respect the music and the composer - I honestly think she is the only one nowadays that doesn't perform in modern productions!

She's great on stage, she smiles and interacts with the public, and she sounds even better in live. For sure.
A lady with a grand personality, a grand story and a grand life.It's Maria Callas, does anything else need to be said but, anyway easily the greatest female opera singer of all time. She didn't care about beauty as much as she cared about creating her own honest style that to this day has changed the way sopranos sing, she was honest and cared solely about what she wanted to accomplish and not what everyone else thought if her. And isn't that what art is all about?

In the past I loved Tebaldi. A difficult task to pick one favorite. I shall not hear her like again. The fact that she was also a delightful and unpretentious was a bonus. Peers are the best judges and you have to go with them.
She never seems to struggle and I don't think I ever heard her voice been pushed, even in the extreme high register, it's just there! Unlike those two names that can be found before her in the top, which I won't even bother to type, Callas loved opera music, AND was able of singing it. For me though, Jessye is in a class on her own.
Her ability to express different emotions is unique! I don't care that she doesn't sing F6s. This voice type is a specific kind of countertenor. The opera purists will no doubt scoff but everything this great artist does is from the heart and will often bring a tear to your eye.
