...arrive at a Judy Garland concert, if one is not a believer, in a state of considerable nausea. The listener knows more than he cares to know about Judy's perpetual troubles-with studios, husbands, nightclub owners, food and the British press. He knows also that Judy has sung Over the Rainbow over and over since she was 17, and that she will sing it again, sure as there is ooze in Oz.

The song is apropos to this trial, and I wondered if I might have your permission to sing it here before I close...
...Scoring a triumph in his first television opera-and in a role that he had infrequently sung before-was about par for Tozzi. He made his Met debut only six years ago; since then, he has thrown his big bronze voice into 27 different Met roles-including King Phillip in Don Carlo, Fiesco in Simon Boccanegra, Padre Guardiano in La Forza del Destino-and in the process has become one of the world's great bassos...
