...inspired by the observations of French Entomologist Jean Henri Fabre, Roussel's impressionistic music transports the ants and the beetles into an enchanted cobwebbed garden. Andre Cluytens and the Paris Conservatory Orchestra touch other milestones of the composer's career by playing his later ballet music, Bacchus et Ariane, and the Sinfonietta for Strings, a miniature symphony in his mature classical style...
Amid all this ritualistic anti-Americanism came a surprising grace note. Meeting in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott, 13 former French colonies formed the Commune Africaine et Malgache and roundly condemned interference by anybody-notably including other Africans-in the internal affairs of other African states.

But CRIMSON reviewers must also realize that the process of making a play "come alive," as Mr. Gordon says Sophocles' works "honorably" do, is absolutely dependent upon a certain amount of hocus-pocus. Sets are gimmicks; so are theatrical lights; so are costumes and made-up faces. And they have a certain amount of validity...
