of memoirs called Seeing stars
Mr.. Wagner organized his company
eight years ago to satisfy an iIlciedS-
ing demand for good opera through
out America. "The amazing response
to the Metropolitan Operas appeal
for funds some years ago showeo
clearly how much the public wanted
good opera. On my continual travels

We have new scenery and new cos
