That high D at the end 😢😢😭❤❤ tears to my eyes!!!! Beautiful!!!

I certainly remember watching this when it was on PBS. What I did NOT recall was that I was there! I was recently cleaning my home office, and hidden in a cubby was the actual program. I’ve obviously got early senility - how could I forget an event like this - but then I remembered going to work the day after this concert, and a couple of coworkers were going on about “why should my tax dollars go to the opera to make Dave happy.” Whatever. I had already seen the three stars - separately - many times before. So when Dame Joan gave her trademark back-on-the-leg shuffle, we knew that a colossal high note was imminent!

Man that high D at the end gives me chills every time!!!

An amazing performance from all!! I adore how they all hold their finale pose till the applause breaks in.

Wow Sutherland is my favorite opera singer, that note E flat blow’s me away 😮

I have been hearing this high D since 40 years and he always makes me trembling of excitement. This historical top D is a "member" of the historical notes in the history of opera, as the E flat of Callas in Mexico's Aïdas , or the longest B and C by Pavarotti in Nessun Dorma and Il trovatore, or the gigantic B by Caballé in the finale of Don Carlo...

Mon Dieu, que le public a eu de la chance, ce concert fut magistral. On n'aura plus jamais de chanteurs comme eux

Great......fantastic👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great!

Jesus Joan’s hair lol

wow~~ bravoooo

To me - that has got to be the very APEX of opera.

Holy Trinity 🤗 💝

Is it just me or did Marilyn move towards Pavarotti and away from Dame Joan when she hit that High D? 🤨

I always thought that Norma sat a little low in Joan’s range.

Nul froid glacial pas très harmonieux.. Pavarotti qui récite une leçon au tableau.. et cette note de la stupida totalement hors sujet ...
