...even in its embryonic state this show seems better than average, it has to be because of Annal's magnificent sets, the best since Sean Kenny's for Oliver. Without much bulk, they suggest variety and expanse; without (I suspect) too much money, they suggest a show budgeted well over half a million dollars. The only unfortunate touches are a cartoon-blue ocean background in the lighthouse scene and a sickly dash of pink in the finale...
...North Vietnamese leave the South, and the U.S. withdraws the bulk of its forces. An expanded international force moves into populated areas. Then, "as the National Liberation Front renounces force, it is guaranteed participation in the political life" of South Viet Nam. 3) Free elections are held, supervised by international observers.

...result is that in most productions, Tristan and Isolde are lovers who seem to forget that they have bodies. Sometimes the audience wishes it could forget too, in view of the age and bulk of most singers who are up to the demands of the vocal score. Not even the composer's innovation-minded grandson, Wieland Wagner, could change this. His productions introduced heavy hints of Freudian psychology, but the lovers' bond remained shrouded in symbolism. It all seemed to bear out Wagner's advice to Nietzsche that to get the most out of the opera...
