With my inexhaustible curiosity about the also-rans I would like to hear
more about soprano Marion Lippert. I remember when I sat down to read decades' worth of OPERA NEWS magazines reading a piece about how wonderful Boehm and co. thought herat a ROSENKAVALIER rehearsal; and then something about Crespin yelling at the Paris Opera gallery, "Vous etes des
laches!"when they booed Lippert as Turandot. Maybe two years later.

So what was the deal? Was anyone on rmo present at her performances at the Met or anywhere else? Impresseions?

I heard her as Turandot at the Met--probably around 1970. It was the only time I ever heard boos (many) in that theater. It must have been an off night, judging by this-

Marshsciallins as far as I recall were all Zylis-Gara; Lippert had
already been booed off the stage for a summer Turandot with Franco and Zylis.
