Fantastisch!

@premiereopera1 Thanks so much for the info. It seems like only the sopranos and tenors are remembered. The mezzos, the baritones, and basses rarely get the recognition they deserve. Thank you for your contribution. I think you are one of the few people who actually had the extraordinary luck of seeing his performance.

Great!

This was at least his 700th plus performance!!!

@TheWisemonkey8 Thanks. I'm not sure about the #... Met archive has him listed at 789 performances between 1945 and 1983. Wikipedia says he retired from the Met in 1976. Quien sabe??? Probably some New Yorker who saw this performance can clue me in :-)
