Fernand Martel stars in Pelleas and Melisande production
In a New York opera season turnover, Fernand Martel replaced a substitute who failed in the demanding lead role of Pelleas. At 28, Martel proved a young look suits the part after 24 hours of hurried rehearsals led by Miss Tate and Miss Tal. He later expanded his stage repertoire across opera, Broadway, and pop performances, becoming a celebrated recital presence.
