Beverly Sills Farewell - Her Final Performance!

[@highbaritone]

She is gone, another bit of history. One of the few great divas of the last century. Future generations I feel will not have been as lucky as we have to have had these great singers in their lives. Thank you Beverly and thank you KZbin, And a special thanks to the Beverly Sills web site.

[@petelovesbevsills]

Today would have been Beverly's 80th Birthday. We lost a diva with the intelligence of 100 people and a talent that will never be equalled, ever! Rest in peace Beloved Beverly.

R.I.P. lovely woman, she was more than an opera singer. She could dance, act, and above all sing with a lovely voice. Very few times you meet a woman who is well-rounded in these three characters, her charisma was evident just by looking at her, she didn't even have to sing for you to notice it. We'll remember you Ms. Bubbles.

Beverly Sill's voice opened my ears to the world of opera. Thank you for this video.

[@theatrechick288]

Her voice is fantastic and this is the classiest goodbye ever!!

[@orionedwin]

One of the very greatest opera stars . . .and an inspiring human being. Thank YOU for bringing so much beauty to the world.

[@TheReallyOldGuyFromNewYork]

How wonderful that U Tube is here now so that so many of us have some venue in which to express our profound sense of loss in the passing of this formidable woman.

[@vickersman]

God, when you think of the opera greats we have lost this year...Ms. Sills,Regine Crespin,Richard Bradshaw,Jerry Hadley, Maestro Pavarotti, and the others I have forgotten. This is a lovely piece to remember them all- and here especially Beverly Sills-wonderful in so many ways.

[@Orsodaniel]

It is always a joy to watch this video. Beverly Sills has a very important place in our hearts.

[@DrGarri]

Thank you for making our world a better and more beautiful place. Thank you dear lady for the countless hours of joy you gave us.

[@castodivo]

This SONG will be forever in my heart. Just listening to it brings tears to my eyes. I could listen to this a hundred times and never grow tired of it. I only wish there was sheet music for the piano accompaniment.

[@gclef2288]

Rest in peace you beautiful creature.

[@greve]

You can't but be silent after this performance. I cried inside me!

[@godivapaw]

This is so moving that it makes me cry every time. She will never sing again! But when she did sing, it was PHENOMENAL!!!

[@ericscam2]

What a glorious sound that woman made.

[@mightyquincy109]

I met Mr. Wadsworth at his home in South Carolina only yesterday and he pointed me in the direction of this video after telling me the story behind this concert. What a wonderful occasion this was. Bless you, Ms. Sills.

[@gonbq]

She was just sensational when singing at Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires long ago: Cleopatra, Manon, Lucia! You´ll be always rememberd. God save the Queen "Bubbles"!

[@lungdoc]

I am not ready to hear this clip again knowing that we are passed the time for her "to leave" us. The chorus of angels in Heaven must be sounding a lot better since she joined them!

[@gangoffour1]

Beautiful and lovely inside and out. She's a gem!

[@jacero10]

God Bless you, Beverly on your final journey home.

[@NancyDelain]

I was there for Beverly's farewell performance (I won my tickets in the NYCO raffle; how about THAT?). Thanks very much for the memories!

[@Gemini730]

Just Beautiful-brings tears to my eyes. R.I.P. Beautiful Lady.You are now singing with God and his Angels in Heaven. Lorraine

[@MadeleineMezzo]

Beautiful and so heartbreaking. What a beautiful soul she was, and I'm sure she's shining just as bright on the other side =) Brava!

[@julieswahn]

I am 47 and this is my first introduction to Beverly Sills' work. And it's her last. I am very moved by it. I see why she is called Bubbles.. such a joyous personality radiates from her.

[@itslaura1988]

I love her!!!!!! Rest in Peace, dear Beverly!

[@enfava]

We will remember you for ever... Thank you for all your bright moments in opera. So long!

[@qwe07]

Such a beautiful voice. I'm so sad that she has left us. :'( Thankfully, her memory and music will always be here.

[@jimmyl324]

ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER!!!!!!!!

HCPit said it the best for me. I will miss her wonderful personality, thank goodness I have many of her recordings. She was my vocal idol and my vocal ideal.
