Have the years flown that fast? Well, you tell La Cieca. She just this past weekend realized that it's been 25 years since Beverly Sills retired from singing. To celebrate this silver anniversary, La Cieca is delighted to present highlights from the diva's farewell gala, October 27, 1980. The evening begins with a few numbers from Die Fledermaus, Act 2, starring Kitty Carlisle (Prince Orlovsky), Gianna Rolandi (Adele), Alan Titus (Eisenstein) and La Sills reprising her debut role of Rosalinda. Then out come the guests: Donald Gramm, John Alexander, Leontyne Price, Sherrill Milnes, Eileen Farrell, Renata Scotto and Placido Domingo. The program winds up with a pop/opera medley, Sills duetting with Carol Burnett.

And all this Fleming talk brings us to the most fabulous Gianna Rolandi - 200 times the singer Madame Fleming is... and let's not even bring up Sills's "Manon"!
