African Orchid. No caged bird, but a delicious, capricious worldling, the Ivory Coast's sensuous, luxury-loving Marie-Thérèse Houphouet-Boigny, 31, delights Parisians even more than Jacqueline Kennedy or the Empress Farah.

...time debut at Covent Garden, likes to shout down the opposition, and that he is often tight and rasping in the middle and lower registers. But his top register can be glorious, and he often makes up in sheer strength and virility for what he lacks in sensuous sound or vocal finesse.
