		Make this your first Giaconda, if still not convinced or prefer to hear other voices try (inevitably) Maria Callas on the EMI recording, her "rival" Renata Tebaldi on another recording, Eva Marton or Violeta Urmana with Placido Domingo in a more recent recording.
		This is the sort of extravagance that Lucy and Ethel produced when they attempted to write an operetta.
