Terribly sad. One of the last great singers who was still with us.
What a goddess.

I was saddened to hear of her passing.
I was hoping she'd make it to her centernary.
RIP.

If anyone happens to be at the Met Opera in the coming weeks, they have displayed on the parterre level some of the costumes Stevens wore in various roles at the Met.
