Don't like the tempo at the start

@skitzo429 Definitely not, I agree, but as far as entrance arias go, this isn't exactly easy. One doesn't want to warm-up too much beforehand because even after Olympia is finished, there is still Giulietta and Antonia to sing. Sutherland may very well have been sick or, even more likely, tired, and in 1973 she was 20 years into her career and 47 years old. Given the circumstances, I'd be ecstatic with that Eb.

Bravo Joan !!

@Divina126 They are laughing because, in this scene, she is playing Olympia, a wind-up doll, made by Spalanzani and with whom Hoffmann has fallen in love. When she stops abruptly or trills off, it's because she has "wound down". Then Spalanzani uses the key attached to her back to wind her up again. When it's well done, it really is funny. And it sounds like it was VERY well done by Dame Joan.

Why are they laughing?(

Those triplet are EXTREMELY difficult to sing at a normal tempo, and she goes like a bat out of hell....AWESOME!

@jsw663 The horn is obviously too close to a mike....sound engineer's fault, not the horn player's.

not her most beautiful Eb
