Alone in the living room, Beverly sings the despairing recitative, Where Has It Got Me?, and tells how she performed 63 Micaelas in 63 one-night stands of Carmen, and 54 Violettas in 63 nights of La Traviata. A messenger enters, bearing an offer from the Frankfurt Opera to star in La Traviata, Faust and Carmen for $125 a week. Over whelmed, Beverly sings the beguiling aria, To Frankfurt Will I Wander...
