A Tribute To My Favorite Soprano, Beverly Sills...Remembering You...Always...

A sad day....
My favorite soprano died...
News was out 3 hours ago from Reuters, L.A.,
- Beverly Sills, the world-renowned soprano who became
the most popular opera singer in America in modern times,
died on Monday evening in New York from inoperable
lung cancer.

Sills, 78, died at her home in New York after being
released from hospital on Friday where she was being
treated for a broken rib.

Sills rose from the ranks of sopranos to become a great
American diva in the 1960s and 1970s, and expanded her
career beyond performing to run two major opera companies
-- the Metropolitan Opera and the New York City Opera.
