Marilyn Horne - A Profile - EMI Music Germany

Marilyn Horne was the Rossini singer of the last century. Her dedication to the composer le to many productions and revivals of masterworks that had barely been encountered since they were composed 150 years previously. This documentary traces Horne's life from Pennsylvanian childhood to stardom in Italy, at the Met and worldwide, including rare archive footage of her with family members, teaching and of course singing, most notably in her final appearance in a Rossini opera, at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1993 and in duet with her longtime collaborator, Joan Sutherland.
