I believe this was opening night of the Lyric Opera of Chicago in 1971. I was at this performance, and it's available on Bel Canto Records. I'll never forget that evening. The audience went crazy and hysterical. In fact the next day, both Sutherland and Horne made the front page of the Chicago Tribune ---with a COLOR photo, which I still have.

@Lohengrin: You could be right. The live recording I own from Lyric Opera of Chicago in 1971 has great sound. Sutherland still sounded in her prime, but Horne elicited gasps and astonishment from the audience with her vocal cadenzas. From Sutherland it was expected, but Horne was not quite yet at the pinnacle of her career, though the London recording was already in circulation. I'll never forget those performances. The top price ticket was $20.00 and I attended two more performances. I was sitting in the fifth row center right in front of the orchestra. One of the greatest occasions of my musical life. I was 25, settled in my teaching career, and decided to spend the money because I knew that I'd never hear it's like again. And I haven't, though Nilsson's and Solti's concert "Salome" at Symphony Center three years later came awfully close. I've been both blessed and cursed with a fabulous memory, though I also still remember other things that I'd love to forget, but that's a personal issue. Thanks for sharing this. I can close my eyes and relive the moments.

Wow rarely do we hear a performance that can one couldn't fault at all, it is so close to a flawless ideal that no human being could evr complain. This is Sutherland and Horne here. This is great even for Sutherland's high standards! It's baffling that the usual handful of detractors (who funnily enough seem to watch her videos more than some diehard fans of hers) are ridiculous enough to account for the 14 "dislikes" to this overwhelmingly beautiful performance.

@downyc
@downyc 4 года назад
Yes, I was there for one of her performances of "I Puritani" at the Metropolitan Opera. I always remember how when the chorus, et al, were on stage singing, and then we hear a glorious and clear voice enter the house from off-stage, and it sailed over all other sound and landed in full force in the balcony seats! I found my way down to the Met's exit door to the garage, soon after the opera's end, and I found Joan Sutherland sitting alone in the passenger side of the front seat of a large black limousine. As I approached, I noticed her hair was perfectly quaffed, and she looked like the star she was. I was immediately struck by the blueness and sparkling quality of her eyes! I ask her pardon, and then gave her my praise, and spoke of my admiration for her singing, saying that she made singing sing so effortless. She responded with a delightful chuckle, and then said, "Oh! I only wish it were so!". I asked if she would mind signing the opera program from that evening, and she did so in a gracious manner, as if it was not a bother. I thanked her and wished her the best, and then went on my way back into the city streets. I was so happy that I had connected with one of my heroes in life, and foudn that she was exactly what she seemed to be to be. Wonderful, delightful, and real.

In the early 1960’s Italian opera fans did not bestow a title such as “La Stupenda” lightly. This title really says it all, for around 10 years Joan Sutherland’s singing was a revelation, nothing in memory had been heard like it and in all probability will ever be heard again, especially given the alarming decline in standards over the past 25/30 years.

I`m a great admirer of both Sutherland and Callas and without prejudice I can say that Maria had the drama in her voice than Joan never attained.

When she was directed towards coloratura, i remember her saying: i didn't want to sing like *dat* ... like :hahihuheho hehehehohoho, she was making fun of coloratura.

Ms. Horne sang this 20 years later at the Met. By that time Dame Joan was pretty much winding things down ( she had very few performances scheduled in 1990) and June Anderson sang Semiramide to Ms. Horne's Arsace. Ms. Horne's tone was darker than it had been 20 years prior but she still delivered. It was well sung by both, but none, IMHO, can equal the magic that was a combination of Sutherland and Horne. Sutherland and Horne did performance the big duet together one last time on New Years Eve 1990/91 at Dame Joan's farewell and they nail it. I'm too young to have seen Dame Joan live, but was fortunate enough to see several of Ms. Horne's final performances in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Past her prime perhaps but still magic. I learned as much from watching her in recital than i did in music school.

I am so old that I got to see Dame Joan singing, outdoors for free, at the annual 'Opera in the Park' festival in Sydney (in summer, in a huge parkland near the Opera House, called 'The Domain'). It was concert performance, come rain or shine. Richard Bonynge conducted. When a young soprano did the laughing song and finished with a long long bravura note which Bonynge supported with the orchestra:, the audience started cheering and, when the note still kept going, they rose to their feet and went delirious. And Joan Sutherland was clearly delighted by the young singer and by the audience reaction: it was risky but well rehearsed, and must have been scary to do that in front of the great Dame Joan. Our Joan had a good and generous heart and she knew what pleased the (non-operatic) public. It was not the most perfect night of opera music but a perfect night for happiness and delight which created fond memories.

This must a very early performance. Those Bell tones, clear and beautiful with no added fluff around the notes. Perfection. (and of course, someone in the audience has to cough at the "right" moments.). The very first tones hit me like a boxer's punch to the chin: that's the same tones I heard in one of her early tapes(I no longer have it) of Lakme's Bell Song plus a recording of her singing Handels Messiah. I think Ms.Sutherland's muffled sounds later in life, come from lack of muscular support. Remember that accident she had falling into the orchstra pit at the Met. She had to be supported with a back brace after that. Opera singing is high performance sport.

The second featured women chorus members wearing platinum wigs and ridiculous choreography. The singing was weak from beginning to end. Dame Joan was right when she said the rot has already set in.

Agree entirely. Maria Callas said not long before her untimely death that opera was a dying art. Well it took another 10/15 years before the whole thing collapsed in a heap of shit. Ok there are some really excellent singers today but it's best to hear them in concert performances rather than some staged travesty. Of course even in the great years there were bad singers and poor productions but when everything came together with the finest talent, as it frequently did, there was a magic that no contemporary audience will ever experience.

Penny Altiparmaki Nice try to misinterpreted my word. I was pointing on his behaviour, not his love for Callas, and I have no means of disrespect for Callas. I don't care how much you like Callas, but it's really annoying when you doing it in other master's video which has nothing to do with Callas. I personally describe people who doing that kind of stuff as "brainless fan boy/girl", and I won't give a damn if you have problem with it. Have a nice day

I remind you that opera is music. Drama, and text.. words ! It's not only about voice .. if so why even perform these operas ?

Caughing in the opera house is the way of the nobody to interfere with the Phenomenon (Jon Vickers in his dying scene as Tristan had suddenly risen up and said: Shut up with your damn caughy... it exists on record ahahahah)

As much as I admire Sutherland’s technical mastery, this could be any and every coloratura recording oh hers. She simply had a monochromatic voice. Brilliant technician.......but.....

too many embellishments for my taste, and dynamics aren't her forte either. Great legato and instrumental use of the voice, though.
