...Milan a couple of unassuming goats shared a runway with a farmhand and some models. The occasion was the 20th anniversary of the house of Dolce & Gabbana, which was held at the designers' slick new space in the old Metropol theater where Maria Callas famously recorded her interpretation of Norma. Guests including actresses Elizabeth Hurley and Chloë Sevigny watched a movie documenting two decades of D&G's sexy, streamlined signatures before the models stomped out in fresh white eyelet bustier dresses and romantic ballgowns strewn with flowers - all against a backdrop of hay bales and, of course...

Under Carol Fox, its late founder and general manager, Maria Callas made her American debut in a sizzling Norma, and the Lyric became home to such 1950s and '60s legends as Soprano Renata Tebaldi, Tenor Giuseppe di Stefano and Baritone Tito Gobbi. By 1980, though, economic troubles had put the company $300,000 in the red, and Fox was forced to resign...
