But he says that the U. S. is culturally immature, that he will stay in Europe next year when his contract expires. There he is more appreciated. In Paris, for instance, it is a gala occasion when he sings as guest star; the Opera pushes up its prices a bit (usually $3.20 for best orchestra seats) and all over town one reads LAURI-VOLPI.
