*Thank you to Martin for sharing this recording with me, as well as Andero for sharing multiple photos of this performance with me.*
Date is September 14th 1973. This was the broadcast from the run. It's my favorite performance as Joan is in rich 1973 voice. Others may argue her 1980 or 1982 Fledermaus performances are better, but each to their own opinion. The cast does a fine job here.
The sound quality was fine as is as this was a broadcast performance.
Enjoy!

Thrilled to have the whole performance! Joan's comics gifts on display. Thank you!
Just adore this music and so joyously performed
Splendid. Thanks so much. It's come up almost like new. This is one of the few operas she never recorded commercially. I wonder why? Sutherland was to have sung this as her Covent Garden farewell in 1990 but said she could no longer move around the set so it was the Anna Bolena in 1988 which was her last opera in London - her voice still rang out magnificently in the final cabaletta - I was there. That high B at the end of the first act seemed to go on for ever.
Bravi tutti. Sutherland is my Primadonna assoluta. 👏👏👏 and Walter Skezak, a privilege, as Frosch. Bravo maestro Bonynge.
Omg thank you very much! I adore Judith Blegen so any new perfomanceis a delight to hear!
What a treasure!

Oh. I did enjoy! Thank you very much.
Thank you!!! How wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of Johan Strauss the Whole performance sounds like Gilbert and Sullivan……
In agreement
Interesting comments these.... sure in terms of comedy and language.
In what version of the English language did Sutherland sing? In any case, a Fledermaus in any language other than German is a travesty.
Each to their own opinion, i guess. Personally I don't like Czardes in German. How does one prove their are Hungarian by singing a Hungarian song in German ⁉️⁉️⁉️ Sutherland's Hungarian version in better for that aria at least.
@@AkaiGX Oh, in Hungarian then? Would have never known. But to be fair, I am wholly unfamiliar with Hungarian. By the same token, one of Sutherland’s weak spots is her mushy, unrecognizable diction in any language she sang. That said, it is in German that the piece comes across best. No substitutes.
@akaiGX in The plot of Fledermaus Rosalinde is Not an original Hungarian she plays only a false Hungarian with the false German accent…
