A report on Joan Sutherland, Kennedy Center Honors, Marilyn Horne and Luciano Pavarotti

She is a recipient of the National Medal of Arts, the Kennedy Center Honors, and has won four Grammy Awards.

For many years, Horne was associated with the Australian soprano Dame Joan Sutherland in their performances of the bel canto repertoire.

Accompanying her was a young tenor named Luciano Pavarotti.

An early coup involved his connection with Joan Sutherland (and her conductor husband, Richard Bonynge), who in 1963 was seeking a tenor taller than herself to take along on her 1965 tour to Australia.

Her last public appearance, however, took place in a gala performance of Die Fledermaus on New Year's Eve, 1990, at Covent Garden, where she was accompanied by her colleagues Luciano Pavarotti and the mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne.
