...Bing opts mostly for one side of the story-his. He says nothing of his glaring failure to bring Soprano Beverly Sills to the Met, for example, but grows highly petulant because she and the New York City Opera scheduled Donizetti's Tudor trilogy (Maria Stuarda, Anna Bolena, Roberto Devereux) at the same time he was planning it at the Met for the Spanish prima donna Montserrat Caballé.

And Environmentalist Roberto Brambilla-who compiled the catalogue to a heartbreaking exhibit of photographs entitled "Italy-Too Late to Be Saved?", now on display at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City-put the point no less bitterly: "How can a nation's heritage be saved when her own people fail to recognize it as their own irreplaceable culture?"
