I love it at 6:30 what a genius idea

Is she really 57 here?! Just awesome. Sutherland was infectiuos. You can listen to "current" divas, admire them etc. But listening to other voices in "her" roles is like moving from a castle to a doll house. Nothing wrong with it. Just a matter of size. Marie in her prime remains unmatched.

I suppose I could have looked on the Met's archive page, duh. Thanks for posting it though, as I'm sure other's like to know.
Wow, so rare! As most people commented: Amazing!! BTW, why the angle was taken all from the side of the stage?

This video was recorded from the right wing of the Met stage.

What a wonderful celebration of the return of your account! As usual, Sutherland gives an all-out performance (even though she's a little long in the tooth). I've always loved this scene (what a ham, lol), and she does it excellently here! We have you to thank for showing us this video, not to mention the person backstage who took it!
P.S. - Who are playing the Marquise and Sulpice? Looks like the Marquise actually did play the piano too, which is great!
