Biografie van de kunstenaar Dame Joan Sutherland
Dame Joan Sutherland OM AC DBE 7 November 1926-10 October 2010 Is An Australian Dramatic Coloratura Soprano Noted For Her Contribution To The Bel Canto Revival Of The 1950s And 1960s. She Was Hailed La Stupenda After An Alcina Performance In La Fenice In 1960. Joan Sutherland Was Born In Sydney. Her Mother Was A Mezzo Soprano Who Had Given Up Her Career. She Learned A Lot From Her Mother With Whom She Used To Sing And Listen To Many Recordings. She Attended St Catherine's School Waverley The Oldest Anglican Girls' School In Sydney. When Sutherland Was 18 She Started To Study Singing Seriously. She Made Her Debut In Australia As Dido In Purcell's Dido And Aeneas In 1952. Previously In 1950 She Had Won Australia's Most Important Competition The Sun Aria And Went To London To Study At The Opera School Of The Royal College Of Music. In 1951 She Sang In Performances Of Eugène Goossens's Judith. She Made Her European Debut As The First Lady In Die Zauberflöte At The Royal Opera House Covent Garden On October 28 1952. In November Of The Same Year She Gave Five More Performances At Covent Garden In Bellini's Norma In The Role Of Clotilde With Maria Callas As Norma. During Her Early Career She Was Training To Be A Wagnerian Dramatic Soprano Following The Steps Of Kirsten Flagstad Whom She Considers The Best Singer Ever. In 1952 She Sang Her First Leading Role At The Royal Opera House Amelia In Un Ballo In Maschera. Later She Sang Aida. Also In 1953 She Sang In The World Premiere Of Benjamin Britten's Gloriana. In 1954 She Married The Conductor And Pianist Richard Bonynge. He Convinced Her To Concentrate On The Bel Canto Repertoire Since She Had Great Ease At The High Notes And Coloratura. From 1954 To 1958 She Sang Successfully A Large Repertoire From Eva In Die Meistersinger Agathe In Der Freischütz Desdemona In Otello Gilda In Rigoletto To Donna Anna In Don Giovanni And Many Others. In 1957 She Made Her Debut As Handel's Alcina Starting Her Work On Rediscovering The Forgotten Operas From The Baroque And Bel Canto Eras. In 1958 She Sang Madame Lidoine In The English Premiere Of Francis Poulenc's Dialogues Of The Carmelites. In 1959 She Was Invited To Sing Lucia Di Lammermoor At The Royal Opera House In A Production Conducted By Tullio Serafin And Staged By Franco Zeffirelli. It Was A Breakthrough For Sutherland's Career And As Soon As She Finished The Famous Mad Scene She Was A Star. In 1960 She Recorded The Album The Art Of The Prima Donna Which Is Still One Of The Most Recommended Opera Albums Ever Recorded The Double LP Set Won A Grammy Award The Following Year. This Album Which Is A Collection Consisting Mainly Of Coloratura Arias Shows The Young Sutherland At Her Very Best At The Beginning Of Her International Career. In 1960 Sutherland Was Already Known As A Vocal Miracle And A Great Diva. She Sang Lucia To Great Acclaim In Paris And In 1961 At La Scala And The Metropolitan Opera. In 1960 She Sang A Superb Alcina At La Fenice Venice Where She Was Nicknamed La Stupenda The Stupendous One . Sutherland Would Soon Be Called La Stupenda All Around The World. She Also Sang Alcina At The Dallas Opera With Which She Made Her US Debut The Same Year. Joan Sutherland Added The Greatest Heroines Of Bel Canto In Her Repertoire Violetta La Traviata Amina La Sonnambula And Elvira I Puritani In 1960 Beatrice Di Tenda In 1961 Marguerite De Valois Les Huguenots And Semiramide In 1962 Norma And Cleopatra Giulio Cesare In 1963. She Later Added Marie La Fille Du Régiment Which Is One Of Her Most Admired Roles Because Of Her Perfect Coloratura And Lively Funny Interpretation. During The 1970s Her Voice Became More Expressive And She Improved Her Diction. Then She Added Dramatic Roles Like Donizetti's Maria Stuarda And Lucrezia Borgia And Massenet's Extremely Difficult Esclarmonde. She Even Recorded A Successful Turandot In 1972 Though She Never Performed The Role On Stage. Utherland's Early Recordings Show Her To Be Possessed Of A Crystal-Clear Voice And Excellent Diction. However By The Early-1960s Her Voice Lost Some Of This Clarity In The Middle Register And She Often Came Under Fire For Having Extremely Poor Diction. Some Have Attributed This To Sinus Surgery However Her Major Sinus Surgery Was Done In 1959 Immediately After Her Breakthrough Lucia At Covent Garden. 1 In Fact Her First Commercial Recording Of The First And Final Scene Of Lucia Reveals Her Voice And Diction To Be Just As Clear As Prior To The Sinus Procedure. She Clearly Took The Criticism To Heart Since Within A Few Years Her Diction Improved Markedly And She Continued To Amaze And Thrill Audiences Throughout The World. In The Late-1970s Sutherland's Voice Started To Decline. However Thanks To Her Vocal Flexibility And Flawless Technique She Continued Singing The Most Difficult Roles Amazingly Well. During The 1980s She Added Anna Bolena Amelia In I Masnadieri And Adriana Lecouvreur To Her Repertoire. Her Last Performance Was As Marguerite De Valois Les Huguenots In 1990 At The Age Of 64. However Her Last Public Appearance Took Place In A Gala Performance Of Die Fledermaus On New Year's Eve 1990 At Covent Garden With Her Friends Luciano Pavarotti And Marilyn Horne. During Her Career And After Sutherland Received Many Prizes. In 1961 Sutherland Was Made A Commander Of The British Empire. She Was Further Elevated From Commander To Dame Commander On December 30 1978. On June 9 1975 Dame Joan Was Made A Companion Of The Order Of Australia.
