Since her début at Covent Gardens in 1952, she has enjoyed an enthusiastic and devoted following, and this unique book is nothing less than an album of memories for all those who love and admire her. Here are photographs of memorable first nights in Lucia di Lammermoor, La Traviata, Norma and The Tales of Hoffmann; dazzling performances with Luciano Pavarotti, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Marilyn Horne and Placido Domingo; candid behind-the-scenes shots with maestro Tullio SErafin, designer Franco Zeffirelli and 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 several presentations before different members of the British Royal Family. Also featured in this special and very personal book are the superb costume designs, album covers, cartoons, newspaper clippings and programmes that tell the tale of many wonderful years in opera. Best of all, Dame Joan and Richard Bonynge tell their own story through anecdotes and descriptions that will inform, amuse and enchant. The Joan Sutherland Album is truly an opera lover's delight." -- Book Jacket ER -
