The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I SAW HER MANY MANY TIMES IN MANY DIFFERENT CITIES AND CONCERTS, AND SHE WAS A SUPERB COLORATURA ARTIST OF VERY HIGH ORDER OF PERFECTION IN ALL SHE DID, AND HER AUTOBIORAPHY "A DEBUT AT THE MET" IS A MUST FOR ALL HER MANY FANS. RIP.

[@shicoff1398]

She is 29 years old here and prime which lasted a very long time due to a great technique that never failed her, she sang with so many greats, even with Corelli! recorded this opera with Bjoerling and Merrill in 1956 complete on RCA LP's now on CD's. RIP.----- Born Roberta Peterman, 1930, Bronx NY.

Look her neck. NO TENSION 👑👏

[@ronsdivas]

Ms Peters was my intro to opera. I saw her many times and we became very close friends. A lovely lady and a superb singer!!

[@cellodachs]

Greatest Gilda ever!!!!!!!!

[@OperaMyWorld]

"Cara Nome"??? Caro nome is the right!!! My God!!

[@magicmonkichi]

lol...I love his Italian pronunciation! hehehe.

[@sgnmath1234]

@@magicmonkichi I heard Regis Philbin say " Vissi Dee Artay". So few people have not just never heard of the aria, but have no clue how to pronounce another language.

[@mmjhcb]

@@sgnmath1234 And they wouldn't ever think to find out before they have to say it.

[@alwaysnew189]

Shameful!

[@9na.D]

😂 yes, it's funny the lack of care and preparation from the actual presenter 😂😂😂😂😂 ...he had no shame, hahahaaaa

[@pawarittalexthippayanon281]

Magnificent

[@krissmgvlogs]

Excellent. Loved it.

[@TomElvisSmith]

I'm impressed you posted this one! Ed regularly featured some of the greatest stars of opera on his show, and I'd love to see more of them doing both opera and pop songs (as some opera singers sang both). Thank you very much for this! Please also post Jan Peerce and James Melton, as well as Teresa Brewer (who is not an opera singer but was also on this episode, and is one of my favorite pop singers).

[@MostlyBrenda]

"Bert" was a fixture on TV in the sixties. Dozens of appearances on Ed, Mike and Merv. Opera stars like Beverly Sills or Jan Pierce were quite common on variety shows. I listened in wonder to the incredibly high notes they could hit and sustain, but never could appreciate opera. Peters was a "Coloratura Soprano". They can sing notes above high C. To me, it sounded like bird calls😉 I guess I never got it.

[@TomElvisSmith]

Were you able to appreciate it when opera singers sang pop songs on Sullivan and the other shows? I always love that! Jan Peerce and James Melton did a lot of popular songs on Sullivan, as well as opera, and they were all fantastic!

[@ivangranger8494]

Mostly Brenda What world the world be, if not for the beautiful song ( and of Amphibians) of birds? 😊

[@MostlyBrenda]

@@TomElvisSmith I enjoyed their pop versions, but have say that I don't remember any of them. 😢 For Opera, part of it is language. I don't know Italian or the plot of Rigoletto, so it is hard to get involved.

[@TomElvisSmith]

@@MostlyBrenda Ah, that is very interesting! I don't understand Italian either, but I just enjoy the powerful singing and beautiful melodies of the music. I'm not really into full-length operas, but I enjoy arias and solos from operas very much, even more so the Neapolitan songs!

[@vincekerrigan8300]

​@@MostlyBrendaYou can always look them up. Just the aria and it's context will do,you only need a broad overview of the story.

[@christinelesch5042]

I do love there style in clothing back then

[@Shamsithaca]

Too Bad Ed Sullivan never convinced Julie Andrews to really show her singing chops on this show...she merely sang some operetta pieces, which although were incredible, it wasnt her top register. Thanks for posting Roberta Peters.

[@pointless1334]

Oh my..🤌

Gyönyörű hang! Ő még úgy énekelt, hogy tudta, nem lesz attól erőteljesebb a hangja, ha a száját annyira kitátja, hogy még a gyomrába is belátni.

[@alwaysnew189]

Please, we are used to that Americans do not know italian phonetics and pronouncing, but it is " CarO nome" Video is fab, thanks a lot!! 🌟🌟🌟

[@Muttonchop_USA]

Standard singing technique: All vowels are 'ah.'

[@wookinooki9023]

Roberta Peters, a voice that could injure you.

[@hueyhoolihan582]

marilyn michaels does a pretty funny impersonation of her on this show. check it out.

[@mattlynch7253]

Blooper when they catch another camera man in the way

[@user-noZTrains001]

Possible,y the greatest, criticised for being 'shrill". I disagree, she was tremendous

[@alessandrodemartino5710]

"CarO" non "CarA

[@wookinooki9023]

CARO not CARA

[@sickofthebulldodo1461]

The voice American idol should take some notes. How in the hell do you train yourself to perform at that level?

[@vincekerrigan8300]

You train under a teacher(s).

[@BartBosman-abc]

For several years.

[@IronCypher]

Sounds like the devil's music. I'd ban it.
