The Muppet Show guest star
episode 409
Beverly Sills02

Soprano opera singer Beverly Sills (1929-2007) guest starred on The Muppet Show in episode 409. Skits she performed include a rendition of "When the Bloom is on the Sage" with a tapdance interlude, and the opera "Pigoletto". She and Gonzo also practiced hanging spoons on their noses backstage, much to Sam the Eagle's horror.

Sills reunited with Miss Piggy four years later hosting Gala of Stars 1983, where they discussed opera singing.

She retired from performing at the age of 50, with an appearance in Menotti's La Loca, and accepted the position of General Manager of the New York City Opera. She joined the board of the Metropolitan Opera in 1991, and four years later became head of New York's Lincoln Center. She participated in the center's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony with Big Bird in 1996 and 1998.

Sills contributed a "Foolproof Hollandaise Sauce" recipe for Miss Piggy's 1996 cookbook, In the Kitchen with Miss Piggy.
