Original Toronto Star caption: A Man of many carers in and around opera as conductor; director; actor; Herman Geiger-Torel staged his first works for the Canadian Opera Company 25 years ago. He has been applauded for giving opportunities to young Canadians and booed for failing to hire the greats. It's his last season and money is still the bane of his life.
