		Dame Joan Sutherland was born in Point Piper, Australia on November 7, 1926, the daughter of a mezzo-soprano & a successful tailor.
		Joan's career was to change drastically when she met a young pianist named Richard Bonynge, whom she married on the 16th of October, 1954.

	A Prima Donna’s Progress
		Sutherland approves of Norma Major’s book but was "rather cross" with Quaintance Eaton for not letting her read Eaton's manuscript before it was published.
		Sutherland is aware that the book has been faulted for these laundry lists and is the first to admit that she is not a born writer.
		Sutherland’s book is full of potentially fascinating moments, like vacations with Noël Coward, a game of strip poker with James Morris (we also learn that Morris was arrested in Vancouver for possession of an illegal weapon which he showed to a prostitute), and a horse that farted in Fiorenza Cossuto’s face.

		No species of songbird could outshine Joan Sutherland's warbling and trilling when she was in her prime.
		Sutherland certainly puts on a show, but everything is performed in good taste.

	Kennedy Center: Biographical information for Joan Sutherland
		Sutherland began her career in 1947 as a precocious talent and ended it on a high in 1990, with a miraculous instrument that was peerless.
		In both Bellini roles, as well as in so much of the repertory, Sutherland's singing defines the genre: every note is polished; her trills are clear, her divisions downright insolent, her legato a marvel, her voice one of nature's most ravishing sounds.
		Joan Sutherland was born in 1926 and first studied in her native Sydney with her mother, a mezzo-soprano.
