Reviews
‘Sutherland’s voice retains the sheen of old gold, and can still get up to its agile, vertiginous tricks.’ The Observer
‘You could say Dame Joan was incandescent and you would be right: on this special night, this night of one star, she gave a wondrous, full-voiced performance that should be remembered for light years to come...’ The Age
