I heard the news while driving this morning: Beverly Sills died of lung cancer last night.
The first opera records I ever purchased were old highlights collections of Toscanini conducting Wagner, and a Beverly Sills album.
I've never been to one of her live performances, and to this day I don't have much more of her recordings in my collection. But I still get the feeling that a light has gone out.
