Early last century, Geraldine Farrar was the Met's biggest soprano star. Today, the title belongs to Renee Fleming. In mounting II Pirata for Fleming, the Met continues a long tradition of exhuming rarities for its leading prima donnas: in 1920, the company staged Leoncavallo's Zaza for Farrar. FRED COHN does some Column-A, Column-B comparisons
