...cabdrivers, but Placido Domingo lucked out when he left his briefcase in the back of a Gotham taxi. Driver Kobina Wood turned in the case, which contained family pictures, copies of the prayers Domingo says before each performance and the score of the show he's currently performing.

...orchestra had extended a similar musical promise with its sparkling performance of the overture. The music-making was superb from the outset: members of the chorus blended well with each other and sang fortissimo without overwhelming Christina Harrop's slight Giannetta. Gregory Turay turned Nemorino's first tenor solo into a great vocal cadenza. Soprano Lisa Saffer's Adina soon demonstrated that her coloratura could amply meet the demands of the bel canto style...

...singers' fault--at least not musically. In the usual Lowell House tradition, most of the soloists are recruited from the New England Conservatory, classical music and choral groups around town, and the Boston Conservatory.
