Look closely, and you will see they have holes in their socks and need a man's deodorant, and the only think which sustains them is a vision...
...England "If you can't sing at Covent Garden," rumbled a British opera star, "you damn well can't sing anywhere." The stage floor of London's Royal Opera House sags and some of its scenery dates back to 1908, but the theater's acoustics are still near perfect.

KQED's final deficit ($90,000) is made...
Unwelcome in both Rome and Milan, too high-priced for other Italian cities, Callas faced a lucrative, popular future abroad-and the prospect of a new battleground. Next winter she will sing at Manhattan's Met, and so will Soprano Tebaldi...
