Item Special Note
Michael Stennett was introduced to Dame Joan Sutherland in 1966 while still a student at the Wimbledon School of Art. Shortly afterwards, he sent her several designs for costumes of some of the heroines in her repertoire.
This was to be the beginning of a long and enduring working relationship. Stennett has designed many of the productions in which Sutherland has sung, for The Australian Opera, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Canadian Opera and many others.
From 1990, Michael Stennett began to decline work, finally deciding to end his career in the theatre in 1994. He is also a portrait painter of note and has painted a number of studies of Dame Joan Sutherland and members of her family. Several of these feature Dame Joan in her most celebrated roles. In 1993 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II commissioned a portrait drawing of Dame Joan for the Order of Merit Series at Windsor Castle.
