ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Highlights from an interview where Richard Bonynge, famous conductor and husband of Dame Joan Sutherland, talks about Luciano Pavarotti since their first acquaintance back in 1963
It was 50 years ago, on September 21, 1963, that the legendary Luciano Pavarotti made his first major international opera appearance, deputising for an indisposed Giuseppe di Stefano at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. That performance brought him to the world’s attention. It also marked the beginning of the 27-year-old singer’s relationship with Decca, the label he recorded with for his entire career, marking one of the longest exclusive relationships an artist has ever experienced with a major label.
Pavarotti was associated with many great artists throughout his prolific career, but few relationships were as long-lived or as fruitful as his partnership with the late Dame Joan Sutherland and her husband, the conductor Richard Bonynge – indeed, Bonynge was one of those who engaged Pavarotti right at the start and his recollections of the great singer go back to the very beginning of his international career.
