...Metropolitan Opera gather this week in Hynes Auditorium to revel in their share of the Met's annual national tour, they will get their money's worth, even at $20 or $25 a seat. They will see and hear first rate singers like Jon Vickers, Regine Crespin, Luciano Pavarotti, Leonie Rysanek, and Sherrill Milnes. They will probably leave with high regard for the Met's artistic standards. They may even be a bit jealous of their New York acquaintances who can stroll down to Lincoln Center, spend astonishingly large amounts of money, and see a Met production anytime during...

Unfortunately, that is required of Fernando, the hero...
...seemed "beautiful but a little scaring" to Italian Tenor Luciano Pavarotti. No, not New York's newest layer of flaky white; rather, he was describing the Metropolitan Opera's first solo recital, which he was about to give at Lincoln Center. His audience: some 4,000 Met patrons plus 12 million public-television viewers. "When opera went to TV," reflected Pavarotti, "people could see it's not so stupid as they thought if it's well done. It's like antique furniture." Come again, Luciano? "You either like...
