He has been separated ever since from his wife, a Spanish singer named Lina Llubera whom he met on his first trip to Manhattan. Prokofiev now lives in a Moscow apartment with a tall, intense young writer named Mira Mendelssohn, who helped him on the libretto for War and Peace, the Tolstoyan opera which had its tryout last March. Stalin had promised to let Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera produce it, but after...
