Since 1925, he has had a seat
in the 4th row Orchestra. He us
ed to arrive at the Opera House
in a chauffeur driven Minerva.
His favorite opera is “Tristan
Und Isolde”, Thomas Schippers
is his favorite conductor.
Another profesional, Charlene
Sawyer Williams, social worker,
started attending the perform-
at the Met in 1927.
She has been a regular sub
scriber since 1950, having seats
in the Balcony.
She wears evening attire on
opening night and dressy infor
mal clothes during the rest of
the season.
Parties
She is noted for her gay par
ties given at Sherry’s both be
fore the performances and dur
ing intermission.
She knows so much about the
Met itself, as well as all the
operas, that she has justly earn
ed the title of “Miss Opera
“La Traviata” is her favorite
and Thomas Schippers wins her
praise as conductor.
Father M. Moran Weston, rec
tor of St. Phillips Episcopal
Church, in Manhattan, although
not a regular subscriber, has been
attending the opera for over 25
years, and for the same length
of time has been trying to get
an assigned seat.
Flagstad Debut
He was present when the late
Kirsten Flagstad made her de
but in Wagner's “Die Walkure ’
He regards both “Tristan Und
Isolde” and “Parsifal” as the
most moving operas ever writ
ten.
He feels that the art form of
the opera permits him to fore
go all mechanical comparisons,
while the audience and the ar
tists give themselves entirely to
the direct revelation of the in
ner meaning of the music.
Dr. Mae E. Chinn, a music
major as well as physician, start
ed going to the opera as a stan
dee! when she was studying voice,
piano, organ and the violin.
As the years passed, she grad
uated from standing in the Or
chestra to a seat in the Grand
Tier. For her, the magnificent
staging, blending of colors, and
the beauty of the music repre
sent a complete release and es
cape from the practice of medi
cine.
Because of this, she has no
favorite opera. She is equally
moved by any she hears. She
shares her seats with Dr. and
Mrs. Sylvester Carter.
Like many of us, who were
not bora in New York City and
whose introduction to the Met
was by means of the Metropoli
tan Opera Broadcasts, Mrs. Jul
ius A. Thomas began listening
well over 23 yeare ago.
Nothing interfered with her
hearing the broadcasts. Many
visitors, who dropped by on Sat-
