It is my impression that Dame Joan Sutherland could have kept singing until she turned 70.
She sings so amazingly in this clip.
so beautiful watching Pavarotti with his eyes closed taking in the beauty of his colleagues paying tribute to Dame Joan.
Joan Sutherland changed my life.
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.

The date the opera world became a little darker and emptier.
Thank you, Madame, for everything....
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!
R.I.P.+ Dear Joan. You will forever be loved and your name will live for all eternity.
I was there that night. It was magical
Dame Joan, I loved you since my earliest childhood. I give you a deep bow in indescribable gratitude. Never forgotten
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!
A great lady. Her memory lives on to this day. Especially for those who knew her personally....
OH how wonderful for you all. Incredibly special.
Really! Wow! When did it happen? Wow! I had the chance to ask autograph to Marilyn Horne in Mexico City more than twenty years ago.
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. 🥰❤❤❤
And let's not forget Luciano's magnificent performance of "Federico's Lament"!
Perhaps in the next century.
The dresses alone are worth the price of the ticket.
lol
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
Voci indimenticabili! Grazie mille!
Dame Joan's Covent Garden Farewell Gala, New Years Eve, 1990.
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.
This made me smile. Thanks for posting
Everybody’s palms must have hurt the next day. Of course, worth it!
Things like this are such a treat and celebration of the great institutions of operatic singing. I was think while watching, that we just don't have the careers where artists can come out and show their wares any longer.
they do...often...its just that pop and 15 mins of fame has taken more center stage that arts that takes decades to cultivate ceases to exist.
I love her singing and I wish I had seen her live, She is without doubt a treasure of Our Country
Que gran suerte haber conocido y haber vivido en el tiempo que vivió entre nosotros LA ESTUPENDA , la voz más hermosa de la lírica!!
Horne and Sutherland. Nuthin' like it.
Spectacular! Two thumbs up, a hundred times. Thank you so much for sharing with those of us who were not there.
Fabulous! I'd never seen this before, thank you for posting it! ♥️♥️♥️
BRAVA LA STUPENDA
Absolutely fantastic I have never seen this before Pavarotti was just fantastic I met him Number of times at San Francisco opera he was my idol back in the 70s and 80s actually a picture of the time of his death 7-Eleven and hardware fantastic also!!❤❤❤
la mejor cantante de todos los tiempos..............................una pasada....de grande que eres .......es..........y sera............................
Gorgeousness in puffy dress.
Never to be equaled. Never.
As their duet demonstrates, Dame Joan and Marilyn Horne were masters of bel canto.
As of this writing, Ms. Horne is still actively teaching the next generation of singers.
I was there as well, just to the left of Jane Glover!
Ein sehr gutes video gut orchester chor solisten d
How could it be possible, today, to imagine such a invited cast for a Fledermaus ?
It was a other period...
Truly
I think in Vienna they perpetuate the tradition of guest artists, among the ones that are in town at that time.
Yes, this was from the period when great singing was really a thing.
Brad, do you also have footage of the final curtain calls and the presentation of the drum to Dame Joan? Would love to see that as well.
No, sorry
Wow so beautiful
Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of this entire performance of Die Fledermaus?
"There's no place like home" was sung by the great Australian soprano Nellie Melba in her concerts. Before I knew this and what "home" referred to, I was somewhat put-off when Joan sang it, mistaking it for a signal that the show was over, now go home!
Guter dirigent
Entusiasmante grandissime voci
Unbedingt. 👍👏👏
Year of presentation?
31.12.1990
They had been doing this duet and these roles since the 1960’s!!!
I had the fortune to see her live (just once) in Newcastle Upon tyne. I had goosebumps. I could only imagine what she was like in her prime.
i attended that concert too, do you remember having to leave due to the bomb threat?
@@chrisfinlay3274 I didnt but now you remind me I do. Initially I thought something had happened to Joan and was relived it was only a bomb threat,
What year is it?
1990
31.12.1990
WHO DRESSED HER for Fledermaus???
Oh I guess it was for the whole show.
Die Fledermaus? This is Donizetti!
Honey go home, be quiet, and do not ever presume to post such nonsense here again. Not a bar of Donizetti in this scene!
Just watch the Video from 0:17: "not a bar of Donizetti"? Well, it's just "La fille du régiment". As far as I know composed by Donizetti.
It is the tradition that during the New Year’s Eve performances of the Fledermaus you have surprise guests singing arias from other operas. Basically as entertainment during the ball that takes places in Orloff’s palace. Check out Natalie Dessay singing the Frühlingsstimmen waltz.
The most somptious the dress the weakest the voice...always true alas.
Sumptuous dress? She looks like she ran into a Christmas tree set on the way to the stage. But, that voice deserves the most respect from a queen such as yourself. I doubt you know anything about the voice and the olympic art of operatic singing.
Such an insult to one of the greatest voices in recorded operatic history. Sutherland here is 64 and still outsinging most voices ever recorded. She was a very tall woman [I met her and had tea in her dressing room with her after a Met performance] and often told interviewers that she enjoyed the "dressing up" for her concert performances.
Haters have to hate, I guess. None of these artists are in their prime, but all are SUPERB. My guess is that none of the detractors could produce anything close to this.
@@josephcollins6033 , Callas e Sutherland sono stati i due soprani piu' grandi del Novecento...e fino ad oggi del XXI secolo.
@@fabriziogarzi9892 Not Callas! She was hideous and did not know how to sing. Sutherland, YES!!!
Maravillosa!!!!!!
