- Ritratto Di Marilyn Horne (Portrait Of Marilyn Horne), a 1994 documentary produced and directed by Nigel Watts for Italian Classica TV. While the host speaks in Italian, most of the video is in English with Italian subtitles and includes interviews with the diva herself, conductor Henry Lewis (her ex-husband), author Jane Scovell (co-writer of her autobiography), colegues soprano Dame Joan Sutherland and bass-baritone Samuel Ramey. The program features the music of Rossini, Bellini, Vivaldi, Bizet, Copland and many others (both classical and showtunes) in excerpts from Horne's many recitals, operatic performances, TV appearances and masterclasses. A wonderful document about a truely great artist. The most celebrated mezzo of the 20th century, she almost single-handedly revived the forgotten masterpieces of Rossini and brought Handel's operas to American audiences. She was also (and continues to be) a tremendous influence on American mezzos and countertenors alike.

The moments with Horne and Sutherland together are priceless. No one could outsing this duo in their prime. And the Chattanooga Choo Choo is a riot. Pretty damn good for two old dames!
Ms. Horne was still very much active as a singer at this stage in the game. I saw her several times between 1997 and 2000 and she was still amazing.
You can definitely tell that they are good friends...and you can see at times they’re struggling not to laugh during the Chattanooga Choo Choo song.
6:14 The only known footage of Dame Joan singing after her retirement.
Joan and Peggy......
Immortal.
Steven Daniel Joan and Jackie (Marilyn) were immortal too!! :)
This is the best no one today can match this !
O how I love them
That was just excellent
This is awesome. I use to live in Long Beach and actually graduated from High School there too. Not Poly but I do remember the Pike as a child. This brings back so many beautiful memories!
Great Video. Thanks.
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in
Gotta keep it rollin'
Whoo Whoo…
The song is called Wheel of Fortune. It was written by Bennie Benjamin and George David Weiss and published in 1952. Originally sung by Kay Starr and later covered by many, including Dinah Washington and the famous natural male soprano Jimmy Scott.
They singing together ...💎

It's funny, Joan's "Whee, whee!!" still shows her head voice still sounds remarkably clear, after four years! Am I the only one who's curious as to what Joan would sound like if she started practicing and giving concerts now?
@Greatfan2011 Well, I apologize if it's hurting your precious eyes, but that is actually how I got the video and I somehow thought that sharing it with the world, as it is, was more important than worrying about such details. :)
Merci. Que vous ne soyiez pas Minnie non plus dans votre pays.
I think it's called "The Wheel of Fortune." :)
Yes, you're probably right. But she herself said she wouldn't sing in public again even if the queen herself asked her to. So she must have her reasons.
What is the name of the song that sounds after Chatanooga choo choo???
Yes, but Joan being Joan, maybe not while singing anything say, above D-flat, might still sound better than your average ancient soprano, since I'm assuming she had a better technique, timbre, etc than Berganza or Olivero.
Too bad they didn't get to include Montserrat Caballé.
Джоан Сазерленд !!! Высокое Soprano !
@Greatfan2011 No prob. :) BTW, There are some other videos of Horne on my channel as well, so you might want to check out those too. There is the "Aria and pasta" documentary along with some live performances. Enjoy. :)
Well, you're definitely not the only one who's curious about it. ;) However, I don't think that "go on 'til you drop" is a good policy for classical singers. If you browse around, you can find some rather recent clips of Teresa Berganza. While still an amazing artist, her voice does show her age and it sounds weird to hear a once glorious voice in this form.
Can somebody please explain to me, why do they (Joan and Marilyn) have scarves on their knees? (around 6:00) I am wondering, if this is some special custom of opera divas or what.. :-D
They're not scarves, it's actually embroidery because Joan liked to make things for her house, gifts, etc. she actually would do it at rehearsals, between scenes, etc, it's what she did to relax.
Reale Heyward: Not embroidery but needlepoint.

Horne overpowered Sutherland.
