"The Concert of the Century" it has been dubbed, and it well may be. Onstage front center at Avery Fisher Hall stood three of music's undisputed superstars, a galaxy of vocal talent it took three continents to produce - Dame Joan Sutherland of Australia, Marilyn Horne of the US, and Luciano Pavarotti if Italy. There, in a brilliant selection of operatic excerpts, they displayed all their touted glory, together for the first time on any stage. Backing up this glittering trio of giants was the artistic godfather behind the entire enterprise, Richard Boynge, conducting the New York City Opera Orchestra. It all seemed too good to be true. But happened it did, and once but twice!
