ln the summer of 1947, The Greater Washington EducationaI Telecommunications Association began videotaping a number of Iive operatic and concert performances at the FiIene Center in WoIf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia, for telecast in an innovative new series entitled ln Performance at WoIf Trap. The series met with overwheIming success, and set the stage for the many live performance teIecasts which have since folIowed.
ln 1975, ln Performance at WoIf Trap presented BeverIy SiIls in perhaps her most accIaimed portrayaI, that of Queen EIizabeth l in the Donizetti rarity Roberto Devereux. When Miss SiIls first sang the roIe at the New York City Opera in 1970, Winthrop Sargeant wrote in the New Yorker, "She was Elizabeth, from the extreme pallor of her makeup to the royal sweep of her train. lt was a characterization that l shall never forget. The combination of skiIIs she brought to her roIe made this a historic moment." Daniel Webster wrote in the PhiIadelphia Inquirer, "Miss StiIIs sang the towering roIe with such authority and portrayed Queen Elizabeth with such fervor that the opera, upstaged [in New York] for more than 125 years, now is one of the theatrical events of the year."
