Beverly Sills - Estrellita - Manuel Ponce - Spanish and English Lyrics

Beverly Sills (May 25, 1929 - July 2, 2007) was an American operatic soprano whose peak career was between the 1950s and 1970s. In her prime she was the only real rival to Joan Sutherland as the leading bel canto stylist. Although she sang a repertoire from Handel and Mozart to Puccini, Massenet, Wagner, and Verdi, she was known for her performances in coloratura soprano roles in live opera and recordings. Sills was largely associated with the operas of Donizetti, of which she performed and recorded many roles. Her signature roles include the title role in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, the title role in Massenet's Manon, Marie in Donizetti's La fille du régiment, the three heroines in Offenbach's Les contes d'Hoffmann, Rosina in Rossini's The Barber of Seville, and Violetta in Verdi's La traviata. After retiring from singing in 1980, she became the general manager of the New York City Opera. In 1994, she became the Chairman of Lincoln Center and then, in 2002, of the Metropolitan Opera, stepping down in 2005.

just 3 weeks after her cancer surgery.

amazing.

She wasn't supposed to sing this, but Johnny asked her if she wanted to sing something else, and she said yes.

She didn't rehearse with the guitarist, so he just followed her.

The whole performance is amazing.

Beautiful transfer too. Thank you!
