Yes, the list of New York City Opera singers who moved to the Met is long and distinguished. But perhaps the greatest artist I ever saw at the New York City Opera never had a desire to move there. I'm talking about the bass whose many roles included King Dodon, Gianni Schicchi, Boris Godunov, Giulio Cesare, , Mefistofele, and the Rev. Olin Blitch -- Norman Treigle. In my opinion, the greatest period in NYCO history was when Sills, Domingo, and Treigle were in residence.
