Chicago and San Francisco have known and appreciated Basso Baccaloni, but not until last month did he make his debut at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera, singing a minor comic role in Mozart's Marriage of Figaro.

Currently Piscator is director of the 400-seat Studio Theatre of Manhattan's New School for Social Research, many of whose brilliant staff are political refugees. There last week he gave King Lear, first of a subscription series of plays...
