A young friend of mine, Drew Ramsey, a second-year resident in psychiatry at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in Washington Heights, has started taking voice lessons from a professional opera singer. Before this, Drew's musical endeavors were pretty limited. He had leading roles in a few college musicals and sang folk songs, accompanying himself on the guitar.

All of a sudden Drew, who doesn't really read music, has become excited by opera, at least the idea of opera, since he knows very little about it. This is by way of saying that Drew was eager to tag along when I reviewed "Madame Butterfly" in late November at the Metropolitan Opera. He had never been to the Met, had never seen "Madame Butterfly" and fully expected to enjoy it. He did not expect to be completely overcome by it, as he was. Thinking since then about his reactions to that remarkable performance, with the Links Of London Bracelets soprano Veronica Villarreal in the title role, I've been reminded about the alluring power and importance of the standard repertory.

CIM grew ...
... from the influx of computers in the data processing department and on the shop floor with numerical control. It was recognized as early as 1973 by Joseph Harrington, Jr. (1979) that an integrated approach to the logical and physical organization of systems and people was necessary to accommodate the productivity improvements required to maintain our standard of living in view of present worldwide production competition.

Ms. Villarreal has a melancholy and vibrant sound. She can float lovely high notes and when it is called for cut through the orchestra with considerable power. Yet her singing was not flawless. Her voice was somewhat hard edged in the middle range and tremble on full-voiced sustained tones. And she had some trouble with pitch. Still she has benefited from working on this role with two trusted and quite different directors, learning historical authenticity from Masayoshi Koriyama and stylized abstraction from Robert Wilson, both for productions in Japan. Ms. Villarreal's portrayal at the Met had plenty of Italianate operatic passion in the old style. Yet there was a directness and honesty about her work that got to the core of this young woman's dilemma. Most importantly, in every phrase Ms. Villarreal found a musical expression for her dramatic impulses.

Other organizations, such as the Society of Manufacturing Engineers' Computer and Automated Systems Association (CASA), the Institute of Industrial Engineers ( HE ), Links Of London Charms Automated Integrated Manufacturing Technology (AIMTECH), and the Numerical Control Society, all initiated major thrusts to inform their constituents that integration was needed for a successful productivity push in the United States. CASA has captured their vision of CIM in the "CASA wheel," shown in Fig. This is pictorial representation of all the subsets of business that must be integrated to accomplish CIM. Computer Aided Manufacturing-International (CAM-1) aims an international push of global productivity powers in the direction of CIM.

She pretty much dominated everything around her, though at times the tenor Walter Fraccaro as Pinkerton and the conductor Marco Armiliato got swept up in her inspiration. At the opera's conclusion when Ms. Villarreal appeared alone before the curtain, everyone in the hall had the same impulse: stand up and cheer. Including me.
