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.

In retrospect we can agree that Ed hosted the greatest talent show ever produced.

[@shicoff1398]

Born in Bronx NY. in 1930, as "Roberta Peterman" had beauty and a beautiful Coloratura voice with great technique. RIP.

[@fivemile13]

Awesome. Unbelievably accurate singing! And all those high Es!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

That was EPIC!!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@edufau815]

Very impressive!! The voice is the most beautiful of musical instruments... 👏👏👏

[@Bivolari]

Talented singer. Very underrated

[@shicoff1398]

Yes, I saw her many times in the opera house, a true Coloratura!. Great technique and solid high notes.

[@misscameroon8062]

no she wasn`t underrated; she was a star in her own time !

[@allenjones3130]

Roberta, who passed away in 2017, was one of the Met's leading sopranos.

... и мира!

[@richardgornalle4536]

Superb singing. An absolute wow!

[@Tif91522]

❤ I Love Watching The Ed Sullivan Show❤

[@user-noZTrains001]

One of the worlds greatest coloratura sopranos from the last century, not sure we have one like that now.

[@johnkellett2669]

When Entertainers were extremely proud of their "CRAFT" what ever it was....Where did the discerning audiences go???

[@lonestarfriend]

And the orchestra is fantastic as usual.

[@19gregske55]

I felt that the orchestra was a bit too fast.

[@lonestarfriend]

Brava!!!! 👏👏 And the set is beautiful.

[@adambrocklehurst4211]

Goodness what a set of lungs!

[@normanlefkowitz5197]

The kissing of the zenith of vocal achievement.

[@StorytimerAtLarge]

Brava! Brava! That was exquisite.

[@er12144]

Bravo!!! No one sings like this nowadays.!

[@Kw1161]

Great performance, what a performer! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[@Piboon11]

Love her, Roberta Peters! High-quality video & audio! Thank you so much for this magnificent post.

[@user-os4ud3zh9p]

Thanks a lot! Great performance of the aria!!!

[@StorytimerAtLarge]

What opera is this from? Wow! She’s amazing. Such clarity.

[@toddmccreary4579]

Lakme

[@edwardalamo2507]

Hidden talent

[@Ploobstill]

I saw her at Fhloston Paradise! She was super green.

[@Shamsithaca]

THANK GOD for ED SULLIVAN! We have such great gems from this to Julie Andrews, Joan Sutherland, Corelli etc. I dont think Pavarotti ever did one here tho.

[@ZombieLXXIII]

Of course I had to search Roberta Peters 'Der Hölle Rache'. amazing. also look for "doll song" .

[@sushicourier]

I was surprised to see she just died recently in 2017 at age 86. She was born in May 4th, 1930, which means she had just turned 37 here. But she's made to look so old with her hairstyle and makeup! I mean, the Olsen Twins, Lady Gaga and Megan Fox are 37. Certainly a lot of things have changed in 55 years! 😮😂

[@vanmusician]

Her Zerbinetta's aria is the best I've ever heard. Superb German diction too. Her middle range was richer than most high coloraturas. A shame her extreme top didn't match the rest of her voice - could be rather 'wiry'.

[@tannycourtad2858]

"promo sm" ⭐

[@Chr.U.Cas2216]

👍👌👏 A really, really fantastic singer but a pretty ridiculous piece of music, nevertheless extremely demanding/stressful for the voice.

[@bassethound1]

Tin ear.

[@MrNegativeFromTexas]

Give me a double dose of full-strength aspirin! Had to turn the volume down due to possible ear damage from the high notes. And finally just quit watching the video completely.

[@bassethound1]

Boor.

[@grantes4969]

He is from Texas, after all!
