Dame Kiri Te Kanawa led the tributes for Australian soprano Dame Joan Sutherland, who has died at her home in Switzerland, aged 83.
"She's totally unique and you will never ever hear another voice like that," Dame Kiri told ABC Radio in Australia.
Sutherland is survived by her husband, conductor and pianist Richard Bonynge, their son Adam and his wife, and two grandchildren.
