  • Beverly Sills Farewell Performance. Sills highlights her career and sings a tearful final encore of the Portuguese Folk Song: "Tell Me Why" that Estelle Liebling, her only voice teacher, gave her when she was ten. As a tribute to Liebling, Sills ended every recital with this song. Her long-time accompanist, Charles Wadsworth, plays for this final, moving performance.

    R.I.P. lovely woman, she was more than an opera singer. She could dance, act, and above all sing with a lovely voice. Very few times you meet a woman who is well-rounded in these three characters, her charisma was evident just by looking at her, she didn't even have to sing for you to notice it. We'll remember you Ms. Bubbles.

    Today would have been Beverly's 80th Birthday. We lost a diva with the intelligence of 100 people and a talent that will never be equalled, ever! Rest in peace Beloved Beverly.

    She is gone, another bit of history. One of the few great divas of the last century. Future generations I feel will not have been as lucky as we have to have had these great singers in their lives. Thank you Beverly and thank you TH-cam, And a special thanks to the Beverly Sills web site.

    How wonderful that U Tube is here now so that so many of us have some venue in which to express our profound sense of loss in the passing of this
    formidable woman.

    I was there for Beverly's farewell performance (I won my tickets in the NYCO raffle; how about THAT?). Thanks very much for the memories!

    God, when you think of the opera greats we have lost this year...Ms. Sills,Regine Crespin,Richard Bradshaw,Jerry Hadley, Maestro Pavarotti, and the others I have forgotten. This is a lovely piece to remember them all- and here especially Beverly Sills-wonderful in so many ways.

    This is so moving that it makes me cry every time. She will never sing again! But when she did sing, it was PHENOMENAL!!!

    I met Mr. Wadsworth at his home in South Carolina only yesterday and he pointed me in the direction of this video after telling me the story behind this concert. What a wonderful occasion this was. Bless you, Ms. Sills.

    This SONG will be forever in my heart. Just listening to it brings tears to my eyes. I could listen to this a hundred times and never grow tired of it. I only wish there was sheet music for the piano accompaniment.

    I am not ready to hear this clip again knowing that we are passed the time for her "to leave" us. The chorus of angels in Heaven must be sounding a lot better since she joined them!

    I am 47 and this is my first introduction to Beverly Sills' work. And it's her last. I am very moved by it. I see why she is called Bubbles.. such a joyous personality radiates from her.
