...Museum. Liebermann, 56, a charming, energetic ex-composer, firmly controls quality by adjusting the tiniest strokes of stage business and watching nearly every performance. In the belief that "seduction of the audience through the eye is easier than through the ear," he has brought such gifted directors as Jean-Louis Barrault and GianCarlo Menotti to Hamburg to stage his productions; and as a musician, he has persuaded such fellow composers as Hans Werner Henze, Ernst Krenek and Krzystof Penderecki to write new operas for the company...

That may be why the Stratford players perform best in a 19th century provincial satire, The Government...

And with the past year's tight money, lower profits and suspension of the investment tax credit, many a businessman concluded that a private jet was an extra that his company could do without...
