    The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

      Haha, you think they have time with all the pressure by their labels?! There is no real opera singers anymore, no stars with charisma, everything is shouting, screaming and pretending.

    Beautiful legato and high note like a laser beam. She was one dramatic sprano that actually had a beautiful voice as well as powerful!

      I didn't forget - I don't agree.
      Love Tebaldi as Santuzza
      Anything above a Bb was a total crapshoot with Tebaldi -- tough to be a soprano without a reliable B or C

      They are examples of beautifully sung ppp Bb in this particular aria. Birgit is amazing! ....but does not sing the Bb as written. That doesn't condemn her, it's just a statement of fact.

      A PPP in a dramatic voice is going to be anyone else’s p or even mp. I think that was pretty ppp for the size of her voice

      It’s interesting because for me it doesn’t sound lean at all (just a very connected, healthy and unique voice)…But I also don’t listen to singers these days, and after your comment I’m really not going to start either 😅😅

      @@Adam-Daniel2004 Are you trying to tell me you're fourteen years old? Why do you even bother to listen?
      Pace, pace, mio Dio means Peace, peace my God. Leonora has retired to a life of prayer. She prays to God for peace but confesses that her soul is still troubled by the memory of her love.
      Here are the lyrics in English.
      Peace, peace, my God!
      Cruel misfortune, alas, forces me to languish;
      my suffering has lasted for so many years,
      deep as on the first day.
      Peace, peace, my God!
      I loved him, it's true! But God adorned him so much
      with beauty and courage,
      that I love him still, nor will I be able to remove
      his image from my heart.
      Fate! Fate! Fate!
      A crime has separated us in this world!
      Alvaro, I love you, and it is written above in heaven:
      I will never see you again!
      O God, God, make me die;
      since only death can give me calm.
      In vain my soul hoped for peace here,
      while prey to such grief.
      Wretched bread . . . come prolong
      my comfortless life . . . But who is approaching?
      Who dares to profane the sacred place?
      A curse be upon them!
