Take a look at what network tv has to offer in 2024. It’s 🤮

Her talent and technique are not of this world, but can we just talk about her trill for a moment?! Unreal. Brava Miss Sills, you are loved and missed...

Beverly Sills -lyric coloratura extraordinaire! One of the best to ever do it!

A virtuoso performance by Ms. Sills!

America's Queen of Opera. Miss her . . .

I have shared this various times. As a singer myself, I studied just to learn how the voice works not for a career. I was truly amazed to learn this about Mme Sills: 1. Manuel Garcia I taught his children Pauline Viardot, Maria Malibran, and *Manuel Garcia II.* 2. Manuel Garcia II taught *Mathilde Marchesi née Graumann.* 3. Mathilde Marchesi taught among others Emma Eames, Emma Calvé, Nell Porter Mitchell AKA Nellie Melba, and *Estelle Liebling.* 4. Estelle Liebling was Beverly Sills' only teacher from age 7 for over 30 years. *An unbroken chain from the true era of Bel Canto singing.*

Oh wow. She just opens her mouth and this glorious sound shimmera out😮

The QUEEN!! Rest in peace, Ms. Sills.

The flexibility of her voice is just mind blowing. She genuinely makes it look so effortless. She was beyond gifted. I wish I had had the opportunity to see her live. What a treasure.

Incantevole e dotatissima. Un fenomeno e fa anche onore all'opera italiana.

Sorry so good I had to comment twice and wonder if more peopkw would like opera if this were their introduction. She is just....beyond words

One of the highlights of my graduate school years in Boston, over a half century ago, was seeing/hearing Ms Sills with the Boston Opera. Great to discover this exciting highlight from her wonderful career.

Virtuosa virtuosística ¡Trina en los trinos! con su Voz de especial inaudita belleza.💕❤️

Hands down she is THEE G.O.A.T 🐐

2:35 to the end is thunderous. Sang Bev 😜

What an awesome performance by Aunt Bev!!! She was 40 here and her talent and personality shown like a MegaWatt Super Trooper!!!

Love to see and hear Beverly Sills sing Donizetti. I’ve listened to her recordings of the Queen operas many times.

Loved er and such a beautiful voice! Also, a gracious person and entertaining!

Exquisite!

Holy cow. An incredibly talented singer and a very beautiful women as well.

Bubbles at her brilliant best!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muy Bello!!!

Very great and the aria is perfect for her voice. RIP.

Amazing. She is still missed. 😭

Una gran soprano lirica ligera, de grandes agilidades, hizo una maravillosa carrera ademas de actriz, y artista de television . RIP

the best so far!!

❤❤Прекраснейший,чистейший ,ангельский голос,восхищён Брависсимо ооо❤❤❤

Блестящее сопрано! Одно из лучших в мире! Bravissimo!

That was the most incredible performance I have ever seen and heard. Dan Akroid from the 1987 movie 'Dragnet' brought me here and this performance by Mrs. Sills made me realize that I was missing out on something incredible and remarkable. Wow!

She was the greatest Coloratura Soprano I've ever heard in the house in my 65 years of opera going, saw her many times from 1968 on in both opera and concert, met her a couple of times back stage and had mutual friends, the woman was smart with a quick wit and had both the voice and the talent as a great artist and singing actress on stage. RIP.-- Beverly Bubbles Silverman

Now you know why the opera is seldom played. How many sopranos want to take that on? I often wonder how many young singers she influenced.

I'm not a big fan of opera & this is incredible, she was a talent like few others.

Amazing!

Still my favorite performance of this opera! The pure joy she has in singing as well as the mastery of her technique can't be touched!

She was sensational and had it all, I saw her many times, first back in 1968 in Chicago Grant Park and then in Calif. many times in both opera and concert, met her when I worked in radio and she sent me a nice card with herself in costume at the Met. she was a very smart lady. A tragic life in some ways, with her very pretty daughter being born with almost no hearing and a son that was not able to live at home with special needs and now the children are both also deceased, her husband died first and Sills who did not smoke ever got Lung cancer and died in her 70's. She had a very very high IQ over 140 , so later she ran the NYCO company and of course when she married (as she describes in her biography) her husband's family where wealthy conservative folks (not middle class Jewish as she was, born Beverly Bell Silverman) some of his family objected to their marriage, her being Jewish and let her know that, saying, "a Jewish opera singer, mother would spin in her grave" . Anyhow she told them off and her husband sided with her, he also had some family tragedy before he was married to Sills, in his former marriage . Anyhow they had a long successful marriage until his death.

My favorite all time coloratura! No one did it better!

Thanks to the fine people at The Ed Sullivan Show for such a thoughtful, novel and accurate biography and page for the great American soprano, Beverly Sills!

Beverly was wonderful. One of the top Sopranos of the later half of the 20th Century, completely confident and assertive in her talent but lacking in any pretense or presumption that is typically associated with the genera. She performed regularly on television when I was a kid, radiating down to Earth charm, while making opera accessible and acceptable entertainment for everyone.

"Bubbles" at her best.

You've been posting a lot of sopranos, which is great and I hope you continue, but I also hope you will post more tenors! We haven't seen too many operatic tenors yet in comparison.

On this same show VIKKI CARR sang her classic hit WITH PEN IN HAND. Could you please post that performance. So far Miss Carr is sadly missing on this channel., as are THE MCGUIRE SISTERS. More CONNIE FRANCIS, PATTI PAGE and BRENDA LEE would also be very much appreciated.

Oh wow! I've never heard her version of that heart-breaking song but I'd love to watch that, too! My parents were considering divorce in the late 60s, and I remember my mom crying and listening to Roger Miller's version of that song, over and over. They decided to try to make it work, and they did! They were married 40 years, and the last 20 years were the best. I think their biggest challenge was that Daddy was always spending months at a time in some terrible part of the world, working as a contractor for the NSA. They could only communicate by letter, and he could never talk about his job. I still don't really know what he did. Too much time apart, and too many secrets. After they both passed, I found the stack of letters he wrote her from the 2 years he spent at Pine Gap in Australia, a secret (at the time) military base that was a joint project between USA and Australia. I have a million questions now, but no one left to answer them!

Anyone know the year of this performance?

Lark.

The reverb does make me wonder if she is perhaps lip syncing to a track(?) Expert if so. And of course it is Sills doing it masterfully. No orchestra in sight supports my thinking.

Come si vede che gli americani del nord...purtroppo non riesce quasi nessuno a " pronunciare bene" ogni volta che cantano qualsiasi lingua oltre l'inglese.

Ah yes, the same snobbish complaints Europeans made about Sutherland. Your nonsensical criticism is noted and dismissed. The voice the technique and the tessitura and fioritura surpass many of the supposed "great sopranos" in history. So while you obsess about diction sir, I will focus on the musicality and greatness of the voice and acting of this great American diva.
