Thank you for posting this. I was 11 years old the year this was broadcast and it was past my bedtime.

Carol is such a great act… Beverley just amazing!

“Goodbye….to our little table…?” gets me every time 😂😭

That sounds like Garry Moore doing the unseen director in the skit at approx 11:24

It would be nice to know what aria Sill is singing and in what key.

[@randysills4418]

It was in C Major. I do not know the title but it was an aria that she sang regularly throughout her career.

[@p.w.e.2374]

It's from Donizetti's Linda di Chamonix...

[@MACmom101]

O luce di quest'anima from Linda di Chamounix Act I by Donizetti. Don't know the key but the original is in Db; major. She might be singing it in E major.

I only just discovered Beverly Sills through the recent Carol Burnett 90th Birthday celebration! 😮 She was a little before my time. This special was referenced. I have been diving into her actual operas. Genuine warmth & joy shine through in her performances.
