BEVERLY SILLS

We saw Sills regularly at productions of Sarah Caldwell's Boston Opera Company.

I can still remember her sitting in a cage as part of a 'new' production of The Barber of Seville.

She was a beauty in the non-traditional sense. Here she is in Baby Doe.

It was always a treat to see Ms. Sills on popular television programs.

She was surely an all-American product. The real thing. But no diva in the nasty sense of the word.

Her glassy clear voice remains in my mind.
