After Gentele's death last July, it fell to Acting General Manager Schuyler Chapin and his aides to map out final details. The resulting three-week season of 25 performances features the Ohana-Purcell double bill, conducted by Richard Dufallo and staged by Paul Emile-Deiber, alternating with a rollicking treatment of Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts, conducted by Roland Gagnon and superbly staged by Alvin Ailey.

From Italy, Bing cabled an offer to help, but the Met picked the man whom Gentele himself had chosen as his assistant: Schuyler G. Chapin, 49, a former vice president in charge of programming for Lincoln Center. Chapin has experience in concert management, training as a musician, and was formerly executive producer of Leonard Bernstein's television company, but he has no background in opera management.
