Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 13, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky hah Over the met Rudolf Bing who manages the metropolitan opera company is j not a very explosive person. His problems have been comparatively simple ones putting on new operas arranging to build a new opera Home improving the personnel increasing the number of Amei icons in the personnel and doing More operas in English. As a matter of fact he is singularly fortunate because the place is nearly always sold out however Dames will be Dames and when a Soprano who was born in Flower Hospital new York and should know better likes her publicity straight and in Public what Tan a Mere Man do in fact miss Callas who is one of Many metropolitan sopranos has decided that she is the Best in the world and seems to believe that the various Opu ses to be vulgarly ungrammatical cannot be Sung without her. I. Who have heard Farrar know that they can be the amazing fact about Lite is that one goes and another comes and that is True of me and thee no matter How wonderful we May be. So miss Callas got into an argument with the aforesaid Bing and what it came Down to was who is running the show and he proved it by firing her. 0 a o it would it be True in new York on monday nights that anyone can run an opera House for monday night at the metropolitan is a fashion show at which ladies Wear their wineries some of them borrowed for exhibition purposes and gentlemen talk business. But then an opera House cannot limit itself to monday nights. In fact. Bing showed his contempt for opening night by charging $40 a ticket which few music lovers could afford to pay. Next year he ought to charge $100 a it ticket for opening night which has become a Bazaar. However to get Back to miss . He is a pretty Good Soprano but nobody deserves that much aggravation. After All. Opera is a play and a play has a cast and one player us As important As another in the sense that if one sings out of tune or jostled her colleague at the wrong moment the whole show can go bad like that time Martinelli ate something poisonous and came Down with it right on the stage also there is an orchestra and a conductor and if the conductor misses the beat or forgets where he is and puts Rock a Roll right in the Middle of got term ammering that can Knock Wagner right on the head. So it has to be a whole per Foi Manco and no one can do it alone. The Star system was very Good when there were stars Caruso Farrar sembries. Scotti do Reszke names come to mind and flow on and on but a Star must also be a Humble character and remember that a property Man can make her look ridiculous by putting the wrong prop in the wrong place. Miss Callas who is an american girl despite All the raging in foreign tongues should know this. She has battled her Way to the front pages in Many parts of the world but that is not what anyone hires her for she like All other so called artists is hired like stagehands prop men chorus girls and dancers to put on a show tor the customer who pays his Money to see it. The notion that because the show is Sung in some foreign Tongue changes the terms of the relationship Between customer and management is a revival of the Art Lor Art s Sake theory which went out in the victorian Era and Only recovers occasionally in such places As Greenwich Village and among retired merchants Bankers and other aged gentlemen who take up hobbies to avoid arthritis. A working artist has his Price and if he is any Good gets it. O o of go to the opera on saturday i afternoons when the atmosphere is 1 aim and the glitter of diamonds Ion competitive. We Are never Dis urged by our neighbors buying and Selling a skyscraper while Man s dying. Let her die without Commerce say w e. That is Art for it s Sake. A As for miss Callas from what the girls Tell me. And this is strictly j confidential she does not Burn so i fiercely in private As in Public and is quite a Nice girl whose friends i like her. Too bad. She does not j i limit herself to singing. Copyright 1958, King features Syndicate inc vol. 80. No. 268 it.
