Beverly Sills
The AP reports that Beverly Sills is gravely ill. I think there has been no greater advocate for opera in the U.S. than Ms. Sills. I "grew up" at City Opera during her late heyday and watched with great interest as she ran the company in the 80s.
She was a great artist and I wish her only the best.
Her retirement gala was one of the great over-the-top evenings (surely Renata Scotto's "Over the Rainbow" has gone down in history). But this last song was touching.
Added 7/2/07. She's left us. There are many singers that I have admired. Beverly Sills, I loved.
