- All I can say about this is that it was one of the funniest afternoons our family ever had the honour of being a part of. It took the best part of 5 hours to get the last bit recorded. There was much laughter and Rita recalled this happy and hilarious afternoon with much love, until the day she passed away.

Gloriously funny and gloriously sung! Some pretty deft coloratura from the great Rita Hunter.
Brilliant!
Glorious!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. It’s easy for us to sit back and take this all in but I want you to know how much we love the work and dedication you put into this project. It is presented with such love and admiration and you are loved for it. I have to admit, if you have something like this in your collection, I shudder to think what else you have!
"On my breast!" So much comedic gold!! An unforgettable performance from Rita!
Brilliant! Everything she did always had the same high level of commitment - from Richard Wagner to Ronnie Corbett! A true and great artist!
I can't believe how gorgeously sweet she can make her voice for the piece. Just so amazingly versatile, she can honestly sing anything. What a pleasure this was to listen to! Happy Channel Anniversary!
Great. He did the same routine with June Bronhill.
Awww there I was thinking this was unique....what a shame!
@@ritahunterlafavoritaNot ‘ a shame’ Rita Hunter and June Bronhill were both wonderful in their own way.
How fabulous this is , WOW Ronnie had a voice ,.really wonderful to watch this , thankyou so much 😊 ❤️ 😀 💖 ♥️ 💗
Great fun, still marvellous singing.
What a marvelous way to celebrate this auspicious anniversary! Brava Rita for being such a good sport while legitimately singing the heck out of "Sempre libera", and mille brave to Mairwyn for preserving and presenting these treasures to all of us devoted fans! Your tireless work on behalf of your mother's legacy is truly appreciated, and I hope your channel will garner many new fans along the way to join the ranks of the already converted. Happy First Anniversary, and many happy returns of the day!
Lordy knows what I’m going to find in the future dear?!?!
What a joy?
Thank you for sharing
This is priceless! Best of all worlds. I never knew she did this with Ronnie. This is what happens when two geniuses come together. They marvellously occupy the same space and give us gold ❤
Miss Hunter came to Australia and sang a fair amount of Wagner here for Australian Opera, as it was before it changed its name to Opera Australia. One of my fondest memories was sitting in the front row of Sydney Concert Hall with Rita on the front of the stage and the huge Wagnerian orchestra behind here. Her might and artistry were unforgettable!
She was the soprano in the Verdi Requiem with the SSO in St Mary's Cathedral around this time
I love this so much! So glad to see it on YT ❤
Special ❤
Astounding what she could do with that a voice that big! And the only thing nearly as funny as this, is Miss Piggy and Pig singing "La ci darem" in Wagnerian dress. Thanks for making my day.
I am so glad you enjoyed it
❤❤❤❤❤
Never heard of her.
Ya have now :)
but, but, but, that's the end of Act One of Traviata but dressed in Trovatore costume. Brilliant.
Actually, her costume is from Don Carlos :D The only change that she made to it was the headpiece. Mum insisted that the head piece was right on top of her head to make it look even more ridiculous :D
