1 y separately published work icon The Autobiography of Joan Sutherland : A Prima Donna's Progress Joan Sutherland , Washington (State) : Regnery Publishing , 1997 19165431 1997 single work autobiography 'Joan Sutherland's voice remains one of the marvels of our century. Her liquid tone, astonishing trills, range and accuracy justly earned her the title 'La Stupenda', and led to standing ovations for her performances in all the major opera houses around the world. Now retired from singing but still busy judging, the most famous soprano of our time has at last written her autobiography, bringing to vivid life that remarkable career which spanned more than forty years.'
