...because the firm's reorganization had left him with little to do. Two other executives have largely directed day-to-day operations, says this source, while Capellas spent most of his time on the road, reassuring large clients.

The plot concerns Camilla, the rightful queen of the Volscians, and is a sexy tale of usurpation, mistaken identities, love, war and imprisonment. Sung in English and replete with what Griesbach deems “conspicuous melodies,” Camilla became the second most popular opera in eighteenth-century England, trailing only the Beggar’s Opera. Neil F.
