Well, we lost Bubbles today...
"Beverly Sills, the acclaimed Brooklyn-born coloratura soprano who was more popular with the American public than any opera singer since Enrico Caruso, even among people who never set foot in an opera house, died Monday night at her home in Manhattan. She was 78."
I will always remember what Sills did to bring opera to popular attention. She was probably the only opera star willing to do things like The Carol Burnett Show, to show America that opera wasn't something to be afraid or disdainful of. She will be missed.
