JOAN SUTHERLAND'S HIGH D IN THE NORMA TRIO 1963-1989

[@vanmusician]

I was in the audience for the 1963 Vancouver opening night.

Magnificent!

Brava! Unerreicht!

Joan's High D here is a singer's note. The studio ones do not give the volume as when with other singers. I heard her live in Philadelphia in the early 60s as Norma.

These singers are so much greater than the silly voiced little screeches produced by modern "opera singers"

Yea......all the good singers are long dead. Sure.

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

Great idea for a post!!

[@65attila]

Is that live Philadelphia NORMA available?

Why did the mezzo ruin the ending of the 1969 performance?!

[@highbaritone]

She was famous our trying to upstage the soprano in this scene.
