Last week in Moscow the Soviet Fine Arts Commissariat was pleased to witness and approve an exciting 100,000-ruble operatic experiment whose spade work had been done not in the communist U. S. S. R. but in the capitalist U. S. When the performance, an extraordinary second act of Carmen, was over, the Fine Arts officials beamed and congratulated Conductor Vladimir Shavitch...
