...harmony in the opera house-Arbitrator Goldberg still has not decided how much extra salary the Met will have to pay its orchestra this year-there were still more hopeful omens on the second night of the season. In Mozart's Cost Fan Tutte, Connecticut's Teresa Stich-Randall made a long-overdue Metropolitan debut as Fiordiligi, displayed the purity, fullness and control that have won her ardent fans in Europe and on records. In the same opera, Negro Tenor George Shirley, 27, last year's Metropolitan Opera Auditions winner, filled in on short notice...
...most popular works during Cesti's lifetime, and last week's La Piccola Scala performance suggested why. From start to finish, it was a singer's opera. The orchestration for the most part was slender, graceful, beautifully designed to give space to the principals (Mezzo-Soprano Teresa Berganza, Tenor Alvino Misciano), who sang aria after aria in serene, long-breathing lines.

A sentient lover (Tadeusz Janczar) pretends "we're walking in a dark and fragrant wood," but his blonde, tough-minded mistress (Teresa Izewska) shatters the illusion tersely: "We're walking in [obscenity]." The lovers' goal is to reach the sewer's outlet in the Vistula; when they do, a grid of iron bars blocks them. Still the hero, who has lost none of his heart-rending hope...
Earthy Presence. Others seeking to identify Leontyne Price's special quality also point not only to her voice but to her person. There are many superb operatic voices among comparative newcomers: Birgit Nilsson. Anna Moffo, Anita Cerquetti, Teresa Berganza, Joan Sutherland. Leonie Rysanek. What distinguishes Price from them as a performer is a kind of earthy presence-a quality that has little to do with acting. Many sopranos and actresses have been called "the essential female" but Leontyne Price convinces most of her audiences that she really fits the description. Not beautiful but with almost translucent brown skin, high...
