   SOPRANO RIPS UP CONDUCTOR'S SCORE DURING CONCERT

   From Associated Press:

   BUCHAREST, Romania -- Spanish opera star Montserrat Caballe stunned
   a Romanian audience by tearing up the conductor's score after the
   orchestra twice fell out of step, according to a news report yesterday.

   The incident came at the end of a Friday concert when Spanish conductor
   Jose Collado, himself surprised at the lack of coordination between
   the soprano and the Romanian National Radio Orchestra, apologized to
   Caballe.

   He said there was an error in the score in front of him, the daily
   Libertatea reported.

   Cabelle then ripped up the score, and followed up by kissing Collado
   on the cheek to show she had no hard feelings, Libertatea said.

   The audience "did not know what to make of it and who was really to
   blame," the daily Curierul National reported.
