	Boston.com / A&E / Theater/Arts / The magnificent performances sang
		The most colorful and artistically adventurous period in the life of the Opera House was the dozen years in which Sarah Caldwell and the Opera Company of Boston held sway there.
		But the Opera Company was never really about great stars; Caldwell pursued an ensemble musical and theatrical ideal, and she did create a true ensemble -- orchestra, chorus, and fondly remembered company artists.
		Although the acquisition of the theater was hailed as the salvation of the Opera Company in 1978, Caldwell came to believe that buying it was the worst mistake the company ever made because it diverted everyone's attention and resources to real estate and legal issues and away from opera.

		The Lyric has also taken over the administration of Opera New England (ONE), which began in 1974 as the educational and touring leg of Sarah Caldwell's Opera Company of Boston, adapting Caldwell productions for travel throughout New England.
		Massenet's opera, at any rate, is certainly short on plot, yet it provides ample opportunity for lyrical outpourings.
		She too is earnest, but her warm lyric voice isn't as multi-faceted as her coloratura, and in Charlotte's aria, where she has to keep shifting back and forth between her own thoughts and the words in Werther's letters (listen to Maria Callas!), Shigematsu had just the one voice throughout.

		Just as the 1950s ended with the tearing down of the Boston Opera House on Huntington Avenue, the '90s began with the death of Sarah Caldwell's Opera Company of Boston - and the virtual abandonment of its home, the former B.F. Keith Memorial Theatre on Washington Street rechristened the Opera House by owner Caldwell.
		Caldwell's persistent mismanagement meant the Opera Company barely survived the '80s.
