So, I picked up a used DVD (very cheaply) of the 2006 PBS Great
Performances Special: Beverly Sills: Made in America. She passed away in 2007, so this
bio-overview is free of maudlin stuff that leaves you sad and wistful at the end. We watched it last night
and fell in love with Bubbles all over again!
The good thing about this program is that it’s a great
retrospective of her life and career, and there are many snippets of her
recorded performances: from her earliest radio appearances to her final
farewell recital.
