Rigoletto - Bella figlia dell'amore (Met, 1987)

[@Eiswirth1]

And remember, this was at the end of her long career. Magnificent singing; will never be equalled.

[@photo161]

Both Pavarotti and Sutherland are in superb voice here. I am amazed to remember how I took such magnificent singing for granted at the time, never suspecting that I had been witnessing the very end of the last era of great singing...

[@mortalclown3812]

And this was Milne, too, right? Astonishing. I don't expect to hear anything like it in my lifetime.

[@trumpet7175]

​@@mortalclown3812 the baritone is Leo Nucci actually.

[@Demille40]

How do you get to the Met? Practice . The applause you hear is for sheer musical genius, God given voices and years of practice to sustain it all for the glory of performance. This is peerless.

[@lahire22]

one of the most beautiful and complex ensemble in opera music; love it so!

[@Alce2008]

[@alfredobuglione5192]

Ecco l'esempio di quando se ne cade un Teatro ahahahah Immensi!

[@blessOTMA]

I can't imagine sitting in that audience and not sobbing over the seer beauty of these voices and knowing you were witnessing both incredible greatness and its passing at once. Brava.

[@antonioguariento880]

BEST!!!

[@Jasoncheahts]

A historic performance. That last note by Dame Sutherland was truely magnificent.

[@cadoh8143]

Marvellous voices.. Sutherland fantástica.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I love it when you include lots of the applause!

[@salvatorecollura2692]

Dame Joan’s last note is like a jewel of undiscovered beauty, catching and scattering the light of some other world.

[@sozanmarshall2832]

So true

[@butchie2752]

She put heart and soul into it.

Thankyou

[@aniloza58]

Impresionante, emociona la voz inmensa de quien descubrí en un Messiah de Haendel. Y desde entonces agradezco la memoria de Joan Shuterland. Gracias

I fell in love with opera after listening to this aria.

[@marisafernandez9510]

Es el mejor cuarteto, y no ária, de la ópera.

[@judithsouthorn1161]

[@deaded5040]

You don't hear Thunderous applause like that anymore

[@trumpet7175]

Because no performance is this worthy anymore..

[@leaf1131]

Thanks for bringing this to us❤

[@RBP1963]

Amazing Sutherland ! Who were Rigoletto and Maddalena this time? Who conducts ?

[@carlospopelier]

another masterpiece from verdi, and fantastic singing.

[@Lu2Lu2-k5r]

Luciano mi manchi tanto! Ma tu non sai quanto Lucià!

[@moustik7432]

Dame Sutherland's technique was flawless. Pavarotti's wasn't that great when he started his career as young tenor and she taught him many things including how to breath while singing. He was very grateful to her.

[@highbaritone]

62 here. Amazing.

[@GE071039]

OBRIGADA MEU PAI ♡

[@terryrivas9815]

What a talent. Unsurpassed. Rip

Qué excelente interpretación!

[@silviac.1840]

Eccezionali tutti

[@alfredobuglione5192]

Livello mondiale.Mamma mia.

[@DJChi_BoccheDiLupo]

Universale!

[@filuferru]

Disumano! Che poi tutti si sperticano giustamente in lodi alla Sutherland e Pavarotti, ma qui tutti e quattro spaccano... E se quello che ci arriva da una conversione video sono emozioni così forti non riesco ad immaginare cosa deve essere stato essere lì presenti...

[@walterortiz7908]

Genial… divino …! Desde Montevideo

[@aidacabrera572]

Te quiero mucho mi amor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@annatrombetta]

Ugh i came because i couldn't remember the mezzos name but the singers aren't listed 😭

[@JoanSutherlandFan]

Don't worry dear. The mezzo, Maddalena is Isola Jones and Sparafucile is Ferrucio Furlanetto.

[@annatrombetta]

@@JoanSutherlandFan Thank you!! I love Isola Jones, but I can NEVER remember her name 🙈

[@sandywaddell4303]

@@JoanSutherlandFan Isn’t Furlanetto singing Rigoletto here?

[@fabriziogarzi9892]

Gli applausi e le urla erano solo per la Joan.

[@Alce2008]

The four we superb.What is difficult is to find 4 voces that combine

[@SifiliticoJoe]

HOLY SHIT
