-La Traviata Brindisi
-Tosca - Recondita Armonia
-La Traviata - Addio del passato
-I Lombardi - La mia Letizia infondere
-I puritani - Qui la voce

-Werther - Pourquoi me reveiller
-Thais - Meditation (Ladislav Jasek-violin)

ENCORE
-L'elisir d'amore - Una furtiva lagrima

Pavarotti and Sutherland couldn't sing better, I highly recommend this, Richard Bonynge conducts the Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra, and the Concertmaster is Ladislav Jasek, who gives an amazing interpretation in Maditation, really, you must have this concert.

This review is from: Sutherland-Pavarotti-Bonynge Gala Concert, Opera Australia (DVD)

Sutherland's HAMLET mad scene is worth the price of the DVD alone -- astounding, especially when one realizes she was 57 at the time. She sings rings around any coloratura since.
