This is INCREDIBLE. Making me cry! I miss Dame Joan and Luciano so much. Dame Joan is my all-time favorite, the voice of all time. Ms. Marilyn is still with us, but of course, no longer sings since she is 90, so I miss her, too. Her "Mon coeur" is unequaled. How I love this video!

I was there that night. It was magical

It is my impression that Dame Joan Sutherland could have kept singing until she turned 70.

Joan Sutherland changed my life.

so beautiful watching Pavarotti with his eyes closed taking in the beauty of his colleagues paying tribute to Dame Joan.

I was 12 when I saw Marilyn Horne and Joan Sutherland in Norma at the Met. Joan Sutherland's voice was huge. That's what I remember. We had standing room only and had to lean against a bar. It was not comfortable, but they were probably the only tickets available. I went with my father.

I was there, working in the foyer bookstall. It was tremendous and very moving. We all rushed around from our places in the foyer to her dressing room after this scene to get autographs from her and Pavarotti. They were SO sweet to us - and FUNNY!

Dame Joan, I loved you since my earliest childhood. I give you a deep bow in indescribable gratitude. Never forgotten

The dresses alone are worth the price of the ticket.

Dame Joan looks absolutely gorgeous in that beautiful, opulent green gown and on the very last night of being on an operatic stage, she sang so incredibly beautifully in duets with Marilyn Horne and Luciano Pavarotti plus her own indididual singing ending with a nost touching :Home, Sweet Home". Dame Joan absolutely wanted to retire after 40 years but with that voice she could have gone for a few years yet!

Yes, I remember this night at Covent Garden, Dame Joan Sutherland's Covent Garden farewell. It was a wonderful night at the opera for all who were there and for those watching on television. And what a great trio of stars - the stupendous Dame Joan Sutherland, the matchless Luciano Pavrotti, and one of the greatest of Mezzo-sopranos, the marvellous Marilyn Horne. Trios don't come any better. 🥰❤❤❤

Superb.

What an amazing beautiful set, this is why I love opera and I have heard the Samson and Delilah before but Marilyn Horne was transmutation

Que belleza escuchar estos tres grandes del canto lírico. Bravoooooo

Voci indimenticabili! Grazie mille!

Joan made her first stage appearance in 1951 in Sydney in Goossen's Judith, and by 1952 sang her first leading role as Amelia in Masked Ball at Covent Garden. The 1959 Garden Lucia made her a superstar and she sang her last full role in Les Huguentos in Sydney in 1990. This last appearance channelling our other great star Melba at the Garden as a guest performer ended a 40 year career, after ruling the world's stages for over 30 years. So missed.

The perfection, the Art of Belcanto.

Dame Joan's Covent Garden Farewell Gala, New Years Eve, 1990.
