"I was intrigued with the role at the outset, because of the association with my Scots fore bears. I've always had a soft spot for Mary Stuart and I rather thought she was put upon too much - she was a very much misused woman. It gives me the greatest pleasure to, as it were, throw the book at Queen Elizabeth in this production." Joan Sutherland on her debut as Maria Stuarda at the San Francisco Opera on November 1971.

Bonynge's score was a more "complete" version, based on Malibran's performance at La Scala in 1835. We can notice Joan has a different approach to this role. Here a performance from 1977, Joan sings the final cadenza of "D'un cor che muore".

"Fate attenzione a questi uomini, il loro amore spesso non corrisponde al loro rispetto".
