Editorial Review: Description: Documentary celebrating the career of Beverly Sills, America's Diva. Beverly Sills' greatness and recognition as a coloratura soprano and as a director of an opera company is the epitome of the American success story. Includes performances and interviews from 1930-1980. Bonus material includes highlights from La Traviata from 1955--first time release in any format! A must-have for every Beverly Sills fan and opera maven! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - More Bubbles than BeverlyA light,fun and safe view of a majestic woman and career. Watch her performances instead. Rating:  - One Amazing PersonI originally saw a snippet of this DVD on PBS and ordered it immediately. My reason for buying it was not primarily the music, but to learn more about the life and career of Beverly Sills, and after watching it I admire her even more. We all can think of people whom we would have loved to have had a chance to meet and get to know, and she is right at the top of my list.

And TODAY I find out she's been striken with lung cancer and isn't expected to survive. And it's bringing me to tears. Back in the 1970s when boys my age idolized rock stars and professional athletes, MY idol was Beverly Sills. A coloratura soprano, Beverly Sills (or "Bubbles" as she was nicknamed) wasn't exactly a critical darling; from a purely technical point of view she wasn't ... Read More Rating: - Excellent historical record I bought this mainly because I am a "die hard" Bastianini fan. This disc comes with bonus tracks from "Opera Cameo". In this, Bastianini sings Madamigella Valery", "Pura siccome un angelo", "Di Provenza il mar, il suol"etc.. But by watching about this American soprano, I realized that also she was a wonderful singer. Browse for similar items by category:
