...toward a soaring, languorous tenderness. Horne, making one of the greatest Met debuts, showed a vocal reach and richness that exceeded nearly anybody's gasp. In Mira, O Norma, closing Act III, the two together floated along like two strings of a violin being stroked by the same bow. The way their voices blended and interwove produced moments of sheer delight-moments to justify opera and fleetingly suggest that the shaky conspiracy called civilization may actually be worth all the trouble...
...style is less theatrical than amphitheatrical. Colossal grotesques leap from private fantasy to public mind. In a set daubed with indelible cerulean and blood red, an albino hermaphrodite possessed of occult powers is abducted-only to wither pitifully in the desert.

...past still pervades Japan, hut it does not crimp its future. Already, the heirs presumptive to the 21st century own a big share of the 20th. A human cliche everywhere is the bespectacled Japanese salesman, quick to bow, to smile and, after consulting his pocket dictionary and his neatly arranged attache case, to quote a cut-rate price. He is seen even in the lobbies of the Alcron in Prague and the Gellert in Budapest...
