Summary: "For a quarter of a century Dame Joan Sutherland has been acknowledged as the world foremost dramatic coloratura soprano - the interpreter pas excellence of once neglected operas by Handel, Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. She has also won enthusiastic acclaim for her interpretations of major Verdi heroines. Now she and her husband Richard Bonynge Have opened up their private photographic archive to present a family album that is sure to give much delight to all her far-flung admirers. Here are photographs of memorable first nights in Lucia di Lammermoor, La Traviata, Norma and The tales of Hoffmann; dazzling performances with Luciano Pavarotti, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, Marilyn Horne and Placido Domingo; and candid behind-the-scenes shots with maestro Tullio Serafin, designer Franco Zeffirelli and her distinguished conductor-husband Richard Bonynge. Here too are family photographs with old friends like Sir Noël Coward, Peter Sellers and Huguette Tourangeau, as well as reminders of several presentations before different members of the Royal Family. Dame Joan and Richard Bonynge share their story with us in the many amusing anecdotes which accompany the pictures; and also featured in this informal and very personal book are the superb costume designs, album covers, cartoons, newspaper clippings and programmes that tell the tale of many wonderful years of opera." -- Book jacket
