But long before the final eleven curtain calls that held the audience well past midnight, long before Callas achieved a solo bow (though solo curtain calls are outlawed under General Manager Rudolf Bing), the critical crowd had capitulated. The customary cliches about musical battles did not apply; she did not "sing like an angel." and she did not "sing her way into the audience's heart."
