A Prima Donna's Progress

The Autobiography of Joan Sutherland

Joan Sutherland's voice remains one of the marvels of our century. Her liquid tone, astonishing range and accuracy justly earned her the title "La Stupenda", and led to standing ovations for her performances around the world. Now retired from singing but still busy judging, the most famous soprano of our time has at last written her autobiography, vividly bringing to life on the page a remarkable career spanning more than forty years.
