But in Parma, where almost everybody knows the operas of Verdi and Puccini by heart, and where youngsters pack the galleries instead of going to football games, the "listenable" is not easy to achieve. Tenors Corelli and Del Monaco, Sopranos Callas, Tebaldi and Stella, among others, have failed to achieve it.

Cosmopolitan (1957, 1958), Coronet (1960) and the Saturday Evening Post (1960). Presumed moral: Never...
Last week a campaign to lure the carriage trade back to Majorca was launched by Monaco's Prince Rainier, a resort operator whose flair for free publicity is the despair of rivals from Cairo to the Catskills.
