This is from the San Francisco fall opera season in October 1981. The conductor is--who else?--Richard Bonynge. IMHO, this is fairly late in the day for Sutherland, but I do not have anything earlier, or more central to her repertoire, transferred. Those who desire/require more information about the performance should see the San Francisco Opera archives, whence comes my information: http://archive.sfopera.com/reports/rptOpera-id741.pdf The mp3 derives from my 24 bit, 88.2 KHz transfer of an off-the-air recording I made fall 1981, at the time of the original broadcast.
