because i can't hear pandora in jordan (turns out, it can only be heard in the u.s., australia and new zealand), i'm resorting to i-tunes -- beverly sills's sempre libera came on, with nicolai gedda -- spine-tingling -- sills is splendid -- lets it all out -- i was writing an e-mail to a friend, and mentioned it
i went to youtube, to send it to her -- the one i hit...brought tears to my eyes
not the same recording -- the audio i heard...is from the series 'great operas at the met': the traviata volume -- the video is from 1976, at wolf trap -- don't know who her alfredo was
just finished watching this 1988 'rigoletto'...from new york city opera -- what a trio -- and quartet -- with beverly sills, introducing...and narrating the behind-the-scenes...scenes -- who could ask for anything more
the sparafucile, mark s. doss, we are told by the broadcast announcer, is from cleveland, and the amazing gilda, faith esham, was born in portsmouth, ohio
