. . . la direction de Karl Böhm, dont on admire la classe . . . Otello (Corelli) et Desdemona (Zylis-Gara) sont bien séduisants, élégamment menés par Böhm. L'émotion est grand de réentendre deux quasi-pensionnaires des lieux, Tucker et Merrill; l'âge n'a en rien émoussé leur pugnacité. Et Regina Resnik met la salle en joie en Orlofsky de "Fledermaus" . . .
