Wow! After every phrase Joan sings, there is like a pregnant pause, because of the absolute beauty and perfection of what we have just heard! Something about her tone... Absolutely remarkable!

I can never get enough of Dame Joan

[@ritahunterlafavorita]

Her entrance at 20:55 just ends me with laughter. How she plays the comedy is amazing. But that sound....can we just take a moment to swoon at the sheer magnificence?

Maestro Anson Austin great lovely tenor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

That High Db and the sword toss at 28:10 was incredible! So many vocal acrobatics in this opera! Brava Dame Joan!

Amazing Mrs. Sutherland is so much loved

Nothing like a 60 year old canteen "girl."

[@Fonseca429]

I like Joan Sutherland.

[@roosterrooter13]

Brilliant. Aside from Dame Joan, it’s wonderful to hear Anson Austin in his prime.

[@erichetherington9314]

no kidding! I never heard of Anson Austin, who, I take it, is best known in Australia. Terrific!

2:27:15... her timbre so warm, and touching here. Her voice, in it's twilight, floating on the air effortlessly. The sound stirs feelings in me I cannot convey with words.
