I saw a Sills performance of "Baby Doe" at City Opera. It was so wonderful - and at the end, I was sobbing so much, that I tried to clap and clap and clap so the curtain calls wouldn't end for the house lights to come up with me sobbing. Well - the curtain calls ended - at last - and when the house lights came up - everyone around me was crying. It was a great great emotional theater going experience. One I will never forget.

She is so perfect here. She considered Roberto Devereaux her greatest achievement, but I think Baby Doe was the greatest thing she did. It fit her voice so perfectly, whereas much of the other roles (such as Three Queens) were several sizes too big for her delicate, silvery instrument. Her Baby Doe is simply breathtaking.

Beverly Sills--the reason I became an opera lover. She was so human, so down to earth. I think that she was opera's best ambassador--especially during the 1970s when I was growing up! She was never the grand diva, though her talent rivaled that of grand diva Maria Callas. She never took herself too seriously--after all, she appeared on "The Muppet Show" with Miss Piggy and an all-pig cast of "Pigoletto"--hilarious!!!

It is so strange that she sang like this for so long without great notice, and when her fame came in 'Giulio Cesare' she was close to the end of her prime. I sometimes think I am just getting old and mean when I trash today’s singers, but no, when I listen to this I still get goosebumps and have to suppress a tear. This kind of great singing is just dead today, and, I fear, unlikely to be revived.

@@hrh4961 Unfortunately the problem is irremediable, I think, as we get further away from the source of the tradition. Sills’ teacher Estelle Liebling was taught by someone who was taught by Mathilde Marchesi. Tebaldi worked with Toscanini, who played viola at the premiere of ‘Otello’. Today we pedagogues like Bill Schumann at AVA with his string of crash and burn tenors, and productions that are the work of diseased minds. Add secret amplification, which exists everywhere. No, opera as an art form is in my opinion quite dead.

I saw Beverly so many times at the NYC Opera and the Met, in many of her famous roles. By the time she had become a genuine superstar, her voice had deteriorated, so it’s great to see a recording of her when the voice was at its most fresh and beautiful. This song is almost unearthly in its beauty.

She is so connected to the character. It is very beautiful. Even her singing is more accurate, free of some of the mannerisms which ca my e up later. Beverly at her very best!

Was it opera or American musical theatre? Only snobs pose the question. A beautiful aria or song is rose that enchants us. It needs no categorization to validate it.
