Little of Love. Schippers' Manon was the beginning of an operatic tour d'art that is the best news of the Met's new season. In what Met Manager Rudolf Bing calls "the Schippers festival," the young conductor will lead the orchestra in at least 36 performances of four operas, including the première run of Gian Carlo Menotti's Last Savage.

Since then the newer fella has formed his own record company and that kind of croonin' now sounds with the ring of new-minted coin. So in his first long-term record contract since Decca days seven years ago, Bing will do a five-year hitch on Frankie's Reprise label.
