Performance Annals
The annals are a comprehensive chronology of Sills’ performances in operas, concerts/recitals, and on radio and television. There are columns for dates, locations, roles or program selections, additional performers, confirmed sources of verification and more. Use the search window within the annals to look for any combination of multiple terms. The results will appear all together in chronological order. When searching for specific days, months or years, use the the template (YY/MM/DD). Example: March 24, 1974 = 74-03-24; July 1966 = 66-07; 1951 = 51-.
These annals include only live appearances in which Sills sang. Her non-singing appearances (awards ceremonies, host of TV broadcasts, lectures, etc.) during her vocal career, as well as after she retired from singing, are not represented. See the separate “Audio/Video” menu for the multiple dates when her studio recordings were made. The annals are an on-going project, with new entries continually being added. If you know of a performance not represented in the annals, please let us know through the Feedback Form.
