...audience glittered, for San Francisco takes first nights with silk-and-sable seriousness. But the best show was onstage. The Devil (Italian Basso Nicola Rossi-Lemeni) was gusty enough to shake the chandeliers. Visiting Met Stars Licia Albanese and Jan Peerce (as Marguerite and Faust) brought down the house with their prison scene. Nonetheless, there was a sense of melancholy on both sides of the footlights: General Director Gaetano Merola, the man who founded the company 30 years ago and built it to second rank in the U.S. (after the Met), had died two weeks before the opening (TIME, Sept...
...Since the season is planned as far ahead as February, the present run still bears the Merola trademark. It was put together, according to one board member, "like a jigsaw puzzle." First the big-name singers were collected, then the repertory was fitted together to fill 22 evenings.

A fine performance and elegant recorded sound make this the first fully satisfactory LP of The Barber. De los Angeles' voice, while not so flexible as Pons's in her heyday, is brilliant and accurate in coloratura passages. Monti is a lyrical and affecting tenor, and Rossi-Lemeni's bass is almost too sumptuous for his tomfoolery as Basilio...
