Freddy,

I was talking about productions of the "3 Queen" operas I was in as a chorus member with Summer Opera Theater Company of Washington, D.C. 3 summers in a row - Stuarda in '89, Devearaux in '90 and Anna Bolena in '91. I'd have to look back at my programs to see who were the queens, Sills wasn't in any of them and if you look at my comment again, you'll see that I never implied that. Her performances in those operas brought them back to popularity in the repertoire - to the point where a regional opera company such as Summer Opera could perform them and draw sold out houses for 4 or 5 performances of each.

Have fun!
