I can't say I was one of them, but I did play Don Givovanni under Lane
him many years ago. Sadly, it was the year Szell died. Szell must have
passed in the summer, because it was a summer opera company, and I recall
Lane having to leave when it happened. At least that is how I remember
it. For what it's worth.
Funny the things you remember out of the blue.
