...present, Menotti will be busy directing new performances of his operas: Amahl and the Night Visitors for TV on Christmas Day (he had to find a new boy soprano, since two earlier ones are teetering on the vocal edge of manhood) and a concert performance of The Consul in Philadelphia next month. After that he will concentrate on the score and libretto of The Saint of Bleecker Street, which "may take me five years. I don't care. I have been reading about saints. It is very difficult...

In such Italian works as those of Carissimi, Caccini, and Monteverdi, she presented some of the earliest samples of the "new music," a dramatic vocal style evolving during the latter 16th century. In works by Bach, Buxtehude, Couperin, Rameau, A. Scarlatti, and Maurice Greene she traced some of the greatest developments of this style during the following century and a half.
