In Moshinsky’s classic production, Dame Joan Sutherland magnificently portrays tragic heroine Leonora, supported by shining performances from Kenneth Collins as troubadour Manrico and Jonathan Summers as the Count Di Luna.

Richard Bonynge conducts the Australian Opera Chorus and the Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra in a performance that emphasises the power and majesty of this richly melodramatic work.

‘Joan Sutherland’s handling of the demanding role of Leonora was an example of opera stagecraft and stunning vocal beauty.’ Sunday Telegraph
