...Broadway's most durable current hits, once wrote a play called Aubade. But he is not the sort of fellow who would make that mistake twice. His middle period, when he was about 21 a few months back, was notable for a three-acter called On the Runway of Life You Never Know What's Coming Off Next, a play that unfortunately contained its entire essence in the title and was never professionally produced. But now Kopit has prepared a new script for production next month off-Broadway, and Dad-wise he is only half a dozen picas...
...life now, but so far this season, things have been nearly as disappointing off Broadway as on. There are two interesting original works, Michael Shurtleff's Call Me By My Rightful Name, a fresh, modest piece about a triangle of misfits, and Edward Albee's one-acter, The American Dream, a somber and surrealistic situation comedy deploring the loss of values in U.S. life. Albee is also represented in a downtown double bill of disenchantment that includes his The Zoo Story and Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape...
There are new signs of life now, but so far this season, things have been nearly as disappointing off Broadway as on. There is one impressive original work, Edward Albee's one-acter, The American Dream, a somber and surrealistic situation comedy deploring the loss of values in U.S. life.

Although he has been composing vocal works ever since his Curtis Institute days, Kastle attempted only one adult opera before Deseret-a one-acter titled The Swing, having to do with a bride's premarital jitters. He is now at work on another opera on an American theme, laid in the 1700s. Like his other efforts, it will be resolutely melodic. "I have always felt free," says he, "to use a C major chord...
...greatest opera composers. In Germany the modernists use the voice as another instrument, seldom giving importance to the word. Italians want to under stand what's going on." The biggest hit of the festival last week was the world première of a 143-year-old one-acter titled Pygmalion, composed not by a modern twelve-toner but by a talented local boy named Gaetano Donizetti. Written in 1817, when Donizetti was 19, the forgotten opera was rediscovered by Missiroli in an orchestrated version in a box of manuscripts found in Donizetti's house in Bergamo. Equipped...
