MERCER "I feel certain," Bing remarked drily "that it will atone for some of our sins of the recent past." He obviously referred to last year's agreement between the Metropolitan and the Ed Sullivan show which was severed by mutual consent after a couple of brief operatic take-outs were presented on the program. "I don't look at much television," Bing said, "but I do think that 'Omnibus' is an intelligent program with an adult audience.

at the very least, there's every reason to believe that its audience can read and write." He believes that there is a large audience of Americans who enjoy viewing opera "if it is well done and presented without apology." "In principle," he said, "I feel that an audience should have respect for what it sees and hears and that entertainment should not merely be thrown at it on television. "It's this terrible familiarity and vulgarity that kills artistic standards on television because familiarity breeds contempt while respect breeds admiration." This "familiarity" is stressed on television, he said, in the way every performer is called by his first name. "If the late Arturo Toscariini had appeared regularly on television," said Bing, "it wouldn't have been any time until people his program would have been calling him And before long he would have begun to lose the public respect in which he was held." "La Perichole" was translated into English and adapted for "Omnibus" by Maurice Valency. Interestingly, the opera was taken from the life of Camila Perichole, the 18th century Peruvian actress who was used by Thornton Wilder his novel "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" which was dramatized on CBS-TV this week. Opera especially produced for television by the Metropolitan was first presented on "Omnibus" 1952 with the productions of "Die Fledermaus" and "La Boheme."

The general manager of the Metropolitan Opera believes that, according to the nature of an opera, it can absorb a large TV audience whether done in English or a foreign language, whether presented in short takes or at greater length. Because he feels that "Omni-, bus" (NBC-TV) is a program with conviction and taste he has high hopes for the success of the Metropolitan's 90-minute presentation of "La Perichole" in English Sunday (4 p.m., ESTK Cyril Ritchard and Laurel Hurley will star in the adaption of Jacques Offenbach's comic opera.
