Back to Selb. More than the patterns have changed at Rosenthal. With sales last year of $20.6 million. Rosenthal proudly claims that it is the world's largest china "publisher."

Conceived by a wealthy dilettante named Tobias Philipp von Gebler and scored by an obscure schoolmaster, the thing was such a botch that Gebler, taking a friend's advice, paid Mozart to write a new score. The composer did considerably better than the librettist. On Gebler's flimsy plot-the love of a young Pharaoh for a temple virgin-Mozart draped 22 minutes of delightful music that almost compensated for 81 minutes of unrelievedly boring talk. Nevertheless, Thames talked itself to death, closed shortly after its premiere in Vienna...
