Fortunately for Beverly, after the operas and the parties, she did not go home to an empty place - she had a loyal and good husband and children....she was in my opinion a wonderful example of a great opera singer who did not let success get to her head and was always a fun, humble American woman who gave much to the cause of opera and classical....shes an angel
I loved this woman. No soprano has ever acheived this kind of popularity. I loved her earthiness and her spunky attitude. We will miss you Bubbles......
Rare footage of Sills, singing Koechlin's melancholy aria of "Si tu le veux", integrated with various footage of travel woes, loneliness and separation from family, which is part of the sacrifices a Prima Donna must make throughout the course of a busy career.
"Melancholy"? The last line (which isn't in this video) says, "But when you get home, if they ask you why your hair's messed up, just say the wind did it!" I call it mischievous. Adieu, Bubbles!
Bubbles never fails to stun me...
wow this always makes me cry. i don't know why...it's not supposed to...
