The audience that packed the Metropolitan Opera House at up to $100 a ticket in tribute to the 85-year-old Russian immigrant was stellar too. In the crowd: Vanderbilts, Astors, Roosevelts, Whitneys, Cristina Ford, Jackie and Aristotle Onassis, and the Prince and Princess Alfonso de Borbon of Spain. A visitor to Hurok...
