...audience, right down here.' " Born Gretl Maerkl in Bavaria, Singer Belleri was signed for the Met in the summer of 1910, while she was still a Munich schoolgirl. When she reported for duty that fall, she was, at 16, the youngest chorus member in Met history, made her debut in the 1910 season in Aïda, with Caruso.

There was no script-just the poet reading, sometimes with wonderful insight, sometimes in a poem-killing singsong. The children were seen responding, sometimes with a joy of understanding, sometimes with the bored and nervous smiles of polite scorn...
