Dame Joan Sutherland - A Tribute Video: How Audiences Loved Her

Many of today's current YouTube viewers are learning about the singers of the past in a vicarious way through videos. These, of course, can help to convey what a singer sounded like and looked like, as well as how they interpreted the works they sang. However, to really understand the phenomenon that was Joan Sutherland "you had to be there" as the saying goes. The audience reaction says it all in this selection of excerpts. I had the privilege of hearing Joan on a number of occasions in Melbourne, Sydney and London. She had an amazing presence on stage which, unfortunately, often made her colleagues seem much less interesting than she herself. And then there was the voice that filled the theatre with an incredibly ambient sound, and then almost shattered it when she reached into the stratosphere. No wonder the ovations were so regularly like those in this video!
