Brings back fantastic memories of hearing and meeting her in 1980s. Some of the greatest evenings of music I ever enjoyed. We shall not see her like again. Many thanks.

When I was very young and only a chorus singer I sang a production of Steven Sondheim's passion where the doctor in the production sang with Dame Joan in the late 1980s when he was very young and only a chorus singer. He described her as a "big girl scout"...and very approachable and kind.

If I remember correctly this was shown by the BBC. Most enjoyable. Thank you very much.

51:17 I just died of laughter Richard: Remember you're the trumpet Joan: I don't feel very much like a trumpet today! That was Joan.....to a T

Oh I totally enjoyed every darned minute of that. Thank you SO much for uploading the whole thing. Absolutely WONDERFUL!

OMG She's singing The Cuckoo song!!!!!!!! I love her doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

46:56 "Please put out any cigarettes..." says the flight attendant. Wow! Those were the days!

Beautiful in and out GREAT Joan Sutherland! She is the music itself!

Esta inigualable y fantástica Soprano para estará por siempre en el gran libro de las mejores y absolutas voces del mundo de la opera poseía algo que la destacará por encima de todas un color y una forma de abordar los sonidos con maestría y destreza pidiendo generar un color y proyección deslumbrante no pude disfrutarla en vivo pero todo lo que veo y escucho es impresionante sin dejar de destacar que poseía una presencia en escena muy glamurosa y de Diva para mí es Madame Sutherland por esa postura elegancia que daba en el escenario desde Madrid deseo agradecer a la persona que ha hecho posible poder ver este lindo reportaje de una figura tan querida y aclamada en el mundo operístico solo puedo agradecer y dar un afectuoso saludo de este admirador

Thank you for posting this. I love Joan. The BEST!

Gracias por mostrar este video de la MEJOR SOPRANO DEL MUNDO!!!!!

Thank you so much for loading this up!!! I adore Joan since I am 12 years old......

Precioso vídeo Madan Sutherland que bien escogía el repertorio para los conciertos sabía buscar obras de gran sutileza vocal y musical sin dejar de mencionar que el director Richar Bony hacia lucir el piano como una gran orquesta para mí hacían un dúo artístico perfecto había en ambos mucha elegancia y virtuosismo el vídeo es muy lindo una pena el no poder entender los parlamentos hablados y narrados porque en mi caso hablo solo Español pero quiero agradecer el publicar esta joya artística de una de las más grandes cantantes que ha tenido y tendrá el mundo de la ópera única inigualable lo poseía todo por eso hizo feliz a muchos admiradores que la seguiremos admirando Desdé un inmenso saludo a quienes hacen posible conocer a esta gran artista

❤️ Dame Joan Sutherland ❤️ Thanks for sharing.

La voz más hermosa de la lirica

Wonderful couple!

Thank you so much for uploading!!! 💜💜💜💜

She was certainly one of my favorites. An absolutely unique voice, never to be heard again. I saw her onstage in Hoffmann, Esclarmonde, Giovanni, Lucia, Puritans, Trovatore, and a few others. Some of those 1970s performances were before the advent of subtitles so, to be honest, I didn’t really understand what was going on. But I enjoyed it anyway. I also saw her recitals in Brooklyn and Buffalo, of all places, and had the opportunity to meet them twice backstage. To my surprise, and contrary to their PR, Bonynge was way more pleasant and friendly in conversation. Dame Joan seemed a little impatient with the public.

Thank you! What year was this filmed?

I bet all that recording equipment could be replaced with a coupla macbooks today...

1h09 a little house

What a treat to watch!! Documents like this become very rare. Anyone know the name of the “cuckoo” aria at 35:15? I don’t think it’s in the description

What year was this again?!

GOOD LORD all that tacky bric a brac her camp husband littered the home with. As Joan says 18:37 "a lot of it I can frankly do without!" 😂

Greatest singer ever. I hate the Sidney opera house as a building. It's awful
