Alternate Title
  • Herman Geiger-Torel; artistic director of the Canadian Opera Company; was busy this week with rehearsals for the opening of the company's 20th season next Friday at O'Keefe Centre. In 19 seasons he has built the company's audience in Toronto from 15;000 to 80;000 per season. I've had other amibitions; he says. I've always wanted to make a feature film on this continent; but I'm 61 now and I find the opera company takes more and more of my time.
