Happy Birthday, Bubbles
Today marks the 83rd birthday anniversary of the late, great, American soprano Beverly Sills (here with conductor Andre Kostelanez in a photo from the Philharmonic’s Digital Archives).
A close friend of the Philharmonic, ”Bubbles” appeared with the Orchestra 25 times, and hosted numerous concerts for PBS’s Live From Lincoln Center. After decades as a darling of the opera stage, she became a fixture on the arts scene as general director of the New York City Opera, then chairman of Lincoln Center and The Metropolitan Opera.
