Really the opera concerns itself only with the monk's search for his daughter. Pelagia's conversion seems off-stage and is dwarfed by the reunion with her father in the final scene--a disgracefully pointless ending for an experienced dramatist like Cole. The libretto's simple-minded images ("today I went wandering as a bird") and pompous archaisms (the story is "for them that have an eye to see") deaden the opera still further. The characters emerge as cute Sunday school paste...
Knock-knock. Who's there? The Queen of Greece. And much to the surprise of Singer Marti Stevens, 31, daughter of U.S. Movie Magnate Nicholas Schenck, that's just who it was-frightened Queen Frederika, 46, and daughter Princess Irene, 20, fleeing into residential Three Kings Yard from a mob of Greek leftist demonstrators outside Claridge's hotel in London.

Last week the suspense was scheduled to end. In Swan Lake, the two visitors brought the house down. Then, for an audience starring the President's wife, one ex-President's daughter (Margaret Truman Daniel), and one presidential also-ran (Adlai Stevenson), Hurok presented Fonteyn and Nureyev together in the U.S. premiere of Marguerite and Armand, the latest version of Camille...
Groves of Academe. Albee's Martha is the twice-married daughter of the founder and president of a college. Uta is the twice-married daughter of a German professor who emigrated to the U.S. and founded the art history department at the University of Wisconsin. Her language is sometimes as strong as Martha's. Albee's Martha talks baby talk. When she wants a drink, she says she is firsty. Uta Hagen has a similar idiosyncrasy. Coffee, on her tongue, becomes tossie...
