Australia 2004 : Australia Legends FDC


Australian Legends 

The 2004 Australian Legends Award honours Dame Joan Sutherland, one of the world's greatest opera singers. Known as 'La Stupenda', the Great One, Dame Joan's powerful soprano voice and presence on stage earned her many international honours throughout her career, including the rarely awarded OM (Order of Merit) in 1991. Dame Joan made her concert debut in Sydney in 1947 and at London's Covent Garden in 1952. She became an international star after performing Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor in 1959. This exceptionally demanding role remained in her repertoire for over thirty years. Dame Joan gave her final performances in 1990.
