The drama of this magnificent production with its superb cast, the excitement and emotion of the festivities before and after the performance are all included in this programme.<br /> <br /> "Sutherland’s voice retains the sheen of old gold, and can still get up to its agile, vertiginous tricks." (The Observer)<br /> <br /> "You could say Dame Joan was incandescent and you would be right: on this special night, this night of one star, she gave a wondrous, full-voiced performance that should be remembered for light years to come..." (The Age)
