Mary, Queen of Scots chronicles the seven-year period from Mary's return to Scotland in 1561, the widow of the King of France, to her flight to England in 1568, forced by her half brother James Stewart, Earl of Moray. Musgrave, the composer and the wife of Artistic Director Mark, also wrote the libretto.

...estate of the American bar is par for the course. But it is quite another matter for someone to charge that fully half the lawyers in the U.S. are incompetent, particularly when that someone is the Chief Justice of the U.S. Reports of such a remark by Warren Earl Burger hit the wires last November, and irked lawyers haled the chief before the American Bar Association meeting in New Orleans last week on charges of shooting from the lip. He had meant only trial lawyers, it turned out, and his calculation had been based on rank hearsay: Burger had chatted...
