1. THE METROPOLITAN OPERA gave a special pre-opening-night benefit performance on Saturday, September 22, to "aid the victims, families, rescue workers and relief effort of the World Trade Center tragedy." More than $2.1 million was raised at the performance, which featured staged complete acts from three Verdi operas and a special appearance by New York City Mayor RUDOLPH GIULIANI. Giuliani was also honored by NEW YORK CITY OPERA on October 8, when that company presented a benefit performance of its new production of Der Fliegende Hollander to aid WTC victims. All personnel involved in both performances contributed their time and talents to the relief effort.
