Germany Becomes
Training Ground for
Young U. 5. Singers

MUNICH. Dec. Is (NANA).-
Germany is becoming q training
ground for American opera sing
ers.
There are nearly so American
singers employed In West Ger

This American cultural inva-.
sion, although directed mainly
at Germany, has famed out into
the operas of Austria. Switzer-
land. Italy. France, and Belgium.
The reasons behind this cul-
tural migration are obvious. Eu-
rope Is a happy hunting ground
for the young operate singer in
quest Of training.
In contrast to the United
States which has only a hand
full of opera companies, West
Germany supports some 200 Of
varying distinction. Opera re-
mains solidly entrenched in the
German way of life and OPP
crates on virtually a year-round
basis.

American singers in West Ger
