Rating: 5.0
You CAN hear Sills, very clearly
Don't listen to the lies that Sills can't be heard on this DVD. They are bashers who are jealous of Sills' greatness smudging out her contemporaries. And THAT is the truth. Why else would they go to lengths to bash all of Sills' greatest roles and films? I myself have a copy of this SUPERB performance, and I can hear everyone very, very well. Did I just happen to have a "good copy"? Well, my local library has a copy of this DVD, and it's the same, just as clear and loud. And of course, Sills' performance is so fiery and dramatic that one gets completely taken into the story, feeling her rage, angst, and despair. There is NO ONE and no other performance that can come within a mile of this dynamite performance! This is most definitely 10-star material, A+++. Ignore the ignorant bashers and witness Beverly Sills' art for yourself!
