Whose Fame?

<p>By EMILY MITCHELL/Reported by Wendy Cole

<p> When they married 17 years ago, both were aspiring singers.
Now mezzo-soprano FREDERICA VON STADE is an opera and recording
star, and Peter Elkus, as of last week, is her ex-husband. In
the divorce proceeding, Elkus' lawyer contended that since Elkus
sacrificed his career goals to help his wife as voice coach and
in other ways, he was entitled to a share of Von Stade's
"enhanced" celebrity value. "A God-given talent," countered her
counsel, isn't marital property. The judge, sounding the final
note, rejected Elkus' claim.
