Rossini - Semiramide - Sutherland, Elms, Martin, Austin / Bonynge - Sydney 13 august 1983

This is the Stereo broacast recording of a direct relay from the Sydney Opera house given by The ABC. Semiramide is a role Sutherland was justly famous for. Her first Semiramide was in Milan at la Scala 1962. This Sydney staged performance came about 20 years later and she could still sing the difficult coloratura part, amazing ! The role of Arsace in this recording is sung by the Australian mezzo Lauris Elms,
