Well worth booing. As for the presenter blaming the La Scala audience for being too conservative - outrageous! I'm over our beautiful operas being reduced to vulgar stage porn and cheap soap operas. Sack the director!
As pointed out, this was not Dame Joan's final operatic performance. I believe this performance was from the mid 1980s. Dame Joan's final operatic role was as Marguerite de Valois in Les Huguenots in October 1990 at the Sydney Opera House. She was originally scheduled to sing Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus in December 1990 at Covent Garden, but she bowed out once she saw a model of the staging that she would not be able to maneuver ...and she also wrote in her autobiography that she doubted she could have sung the role as well as she wanted to by that point. Instead, she appeared in the party scene as a guest. In her speech she said "I wanted to go out when you still have a somewhat pleasant memory of me instead of saying when will the old girl just stop?"
Schrecklich ist die debile Aufmachung von Doris Soffel, wofür sie allerdings nichts kann. Ich hörte sie als Rossina life in Stuttgart, wo Doris Soffel einfach wunderbar war.
I have heard several versions of this piece, even including the Wiener Philharmoniker with a different conductor. To me, the quality of this performance is transcendent.
Nem tudom ki volt képes rávenni Joan Sutherland-et arra, hogy betanulja magyarul a Csárdást, de nagyon jól tette az biztos. Életében a legnagyobbak közt is csillag volt mindig, most amióta már nincs köztünk a felvételei hallgatása is mindig örömöt jelentenek a zeneszeretők számára. Örök hála érte.
