"If, at the end of the three years I'm not progressing ac- cording to my ability, I'll go somewhere else -- Europe, or Hollywood, perhaps." So far, she has few complaints. i "I have been assigned 25 roles for next year. Most of them are an improvement over this year's roles." Her favorite role is Butterfly --*"I love everything Puccini ever : wrote" --the part she will sing in : tionally and vocally--I guess it's| Vancouver next month. DEBUT AS MIMI "I love to do Madame Butter- fly, but I wouldn't want to do it at the Met just yet. It's just too much to do at the Met -- emo- psychological." It was in another Puccini lead ~Mimi in La Boheme--that Ter- : esa made her professional debut. . She was 19 when she gate- crashed the Toronto Opera Fes- tival auditions and won the role.

She took an apartment by her- self and prepared for the glamor- ous existence,' "In a week, I couldn't stand it. I was telephoning home every night anyway, so I called my parents to come down and stay with me. "I don't even like Manhattan. We live outside the city now." And no, it hasn't been easy.
