You don't know how much I enjoyed that snippet from the "Merry Widow". Thanks for the link. It really shows the essence of Beverly Sills' bubbly personality which manifested itself both on and off the stage.

I remember in the good old days when PBS TV used to regularly produce and show great operas and operettas featuring some of the most famous voices in the world.

Now just about everytime I turn it on I see that blind dude singing, I kid you not. It's like he's the last gasp of what was once a broad variety of fine cultural programming on the public airwaves.
