...life" to reshaping Iran "in the image of Muhammad." This would be done, he said, by the purge of every vestige of Western culture from the land. "We will amend the newspapers. We will amend the radio, the television, the cinemas," he intoned. "All of these should follow the Islamic pattern...

World War II brought an inhospitable climate for productions of Lulu, since the Nazis regarded it as entartete Kunst (decadent art), but thereafter it began to enter the international repertory. Approaches to other composers about finishing the third act had ended inconclusively. Opera managers vied for the chance to present the first complete performance...
