Dame Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge

The Sutherland/Bonynge file in the Library’s PROMPT collection documents the extensive and intertwined Australian and overseas careers of Joan Sutherland, opera singer and her husband Richard Bonynge, orchestral conductor. This husband and wife team of musicians helped the career of the other by frequently performing together, she usually as principal singer under his baton. It was Bonynge who discovered her ability to sing the great bel canto roles and to this end he researched and conducted the operatic repertoire which most suited his wife’s unique coloratura voice.

Content

Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance by Sutherland/Bonynge. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure.

All Library holdings relating to Sutherland and Bonynge are listed in the Library’s online catalogue and available by eCallslip request.

Arrangement

The aid is divided into two parts encompassing the Australian and overseas performances of Sutherland/Bonynge including Bonynge’s career after his wife’s retirement.

The Australian performances include Sutherland in oratorio, opera, recital and film and Bonynge as piano soloist, accompanist and conductor. In this part readers should be aware of the * which appears at the head of the section and against some of the years. This indicates that the programs are only held in the Australian Opera file of the PROMPT Collection and not in the Sutherland/Bonynge file.

The overseas performances document Sutherland in oratorio, opera and recital and Bonynge as accompanist and conductor.

The arrangement in each sequence is chronological by year and then by month, week or day. NB. All dating is based on evidence in the programs or ephemera.

Entries for each program are arranged as follows –

City; Venue/Theatre; Company name;
Name of opera/recital in bold face (Creator)
Character sung or other activity; Bonynge ’s role

The listing also notes significant singers such as Pavarotti, Marilyn Horne.

Additional sequences in the Sutherland/Bonynge file

There are other sequences in this file which are NOT included in this aid but which researchers will find useful. These are as follows –

  • Press clippings divided into Australian and overseas
  • Biography
  • Ephemera
  • Monograph references
