Beverly Sills and Danny Kaye Opera Parody!

terrific..the complete consumate performers!

I did not know she did
but what a great spirited lady

I still cant believe she died i remember what a joy she was in real life as well as the stage life.

Wsn't she the greatest? I feel like cryig!

my side hurts!!!!!


Thanks. NOW, someone needs to find the video of Danny conducting Flight of the Bumblebee with a flyswatter.
Julia from San Antonio whose mom got to be in the chorus during the operas from mid 60s to late 70s, many of which were headlined by Miss Sills

Unbelievable! The charm and sheer joy of this performace made me cry over the loss of two brilliant artists. She was so wonderful and inspired me to listen to opera through her PBS specials and tv appearances. Bubbles changed my life. Danny Kaye was a perfect and inimitable performer who always made me laugh. I am so heartbroken that she is gone but grateful that her videos and music remain.

I can't watch this without crying the whole way through. They just don't make them like these two National Treasures anymore. Dear God they were both utterly brilliant.

RIP, Bubbly, the world has lost a ray of light now. She had such a wonderful personality. Danny Kaye's cute too.

Just hearing once more her brilliant tones made me weep anew! Thank you for posting two of my favorite performers together...to be enjoyed forever.

RIP dear Beverly!!! and to Danny Kaye, one of my all time favorite people!!!! Sharon T. from Ohio,
thanks for sharing this segment with us

RIP Beverly. You were amazing. Heaven's choir has a new outstanding member.
And RIP to Danny Kaye as well. You are missed tremendously where good, clean, and honestly funny guys are hard to find nowadays.

Thanks, Bob32540, your comment is touching.

Remember the hilarious special she did with Carol Burnett? It led to a lifelong friendship. Anyone who's a best friend of Burnett has to be a fine person! Joke; of course I already knew she was. The Burnett show is on DVD. I heard her crying over Beverly on radio last night and it broke my heart.

It's comforting to believe that somewhere in the far reaches of the universe, soundwaves still carry her voice; and that somewhere in a distant galaxy she will let them know that on earth there was beauty,
ever if for a brief time.

Fly, Bev. We'll miss you.

Bless you, lovely lovely lady! xoxo DJ

Go Brooklyn!!! We'll miss you Bev...You were one Classy Dame! Be see'n ya....

My deepest sympathy to Miss Sills' family. She truly brough opera to all of us here in the U.S.A and we'll miss her a lot!

Bravisima!!!! A wonderful woman...

Rest in eternal peace, our queen of opera.

aww this was so great :)

*sighs* This video is why she was so wonderful. She was unassuming, unpretentious and funny as all get out. AND, the woman could sing so wonderfully. As a singer myself, I aspire to that ease. Bless her.

We love you Beverly. May you rest in eternal peace.

Uh - she WAS gorgeous in many ways that didn't have anything to do with looks, but she was also "pretty in face" (as they said in "The King and I")

Oh no, she died - Monday - age 78. May flights of angels sing her to her rest.

Beverly Sills is terminally ill I just read in the news.
