The first hint came when he announced auditions for the chorus of the new Dallas Civic Opera; instead of the expected stampede, only 32 singers showed up, and most of them were shower-room Carusos. The real blow, though, was his fund-raising gala, featuring Maria Callas. It sold only 30% of the 4,100 seats in the State Fair Music Hall. On the following night, the company opened with an excellent performance of Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri-and got much the same...
