...regular 1971-72 season ended last week with an extravagant, five-hour operatic gala (top price: $100) arranged, directed and virtually orchestrated and choreographed by Bing himself. On hand were 43 superstars (among them Nilsson, Price, Sutherland, Siepi, Gobbi, Milnes and Domingo) to demonstrate the kind of singing talent brought to the Met during the Bing regime.
