The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I had the privilege of seeing Robert Merrill at the Metropolitan when I was young. What a wonderful voice! His Figaro in Rossini’s “Barbiere” was incredible. And his Luna in “Trovatore” was magnificent. As a young voice student I once had the opportunity to speak with him and he was so kind and encouraging, I’ll never forget.
I know. I met him..very nice and down to earth
It is amazing how many of the great opera singers of the 20th century were Jewish. This is perhaps the greatest of them all, the great baritone Robert Merrill. Singing a gorgeous aria.
A gifted baritone. You simply could not learn Robert's magnificence - you have to be born with such a gift. One of the greatest of all time.
What I'd give to have a voice like that. Robert was well-known for singing the national anthem at major league baseball games and as a result, had a small but funny cameo in the 2003 film "Anger Management" with Adam Sandler.
Be of the most satisfying singers in his voice type
Bravissimo! My favorite Giorgio Germont!!!
A *Real* Verdi Baritone! Interestingly, they cut the brief instrumental interlude in the middle of the aria, probably in the interests of time.
From the first show from the then-newly-renamed Ed Sullivan Theater - you can find a clip which Ed and then-NYC Mayor John Lindsey unveiled that then-new marquee.
"I'd like to PREVENT Robert Merrill!"
-- which Ed supposedly said once....
this reminds me of a very funny episode from the Odd Couple.....with Richard Fredricks.....singing this...."Does Your Mother Know You're Out, Rigoletto?"...is the name of the episode
Why is it sung a semi tone lower?
Merrill didn't have the top.
@@sananton2821 He did at one point, but in this he’s 50, and they cut the interlude so he’s singing straight through this beast of an aria, I don’t blame him.
