...with Trills. The test could hardly have pleased Lincoln Kirstein more. Mezzo-Soprano Bible, whose best roles heretofore have been a couple of light-hearted male impersonations (Cherubino in Figaro, Octavian in Rosertkavalier), never looked prettier.

Singing Octavian, the Marschallin's unripe lover, was not 27-year-old Contralto Bible's first operatic excursion in trousers: last year, she made the same kind of hit in her hurried debut as Cherubino in the City Center's fine production of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro.
