(opera music begins)
-: Hi, I'm Beverly Sills,
and I'm doing what I often do on a Saturday afternoon
when I'm not singing in an opera.
I'm listening to an opera,
Texaco's live broadcast from the Metropolitan.
You know, opera needs support from everyone who loves it
and Texaco has been helping tremendously
by bringing these glorious Metropolitan broadcasts
into millions of homes all over America for 36 years
to people who can't hear live opera in any other way,
to children who get their first taste
of opera over the radio and then go on
to develop a lifelong love affair with it.
(opera music swells)
Now, isn't that a beautiful Texaco station?
(opera music continues)
-: Texaco invites you to listen to Ms. Beverly Sills
and other great artists later this year
when Texaco begins its 37th year
of Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts
live from the Metropolitan Opera.
Texaco's Metropolitan Opera broadcasts,
the longest continuous sponsorship of the arts
in broadcasting history.
