Benny Adler, as the leering president of "Winkler's Frock," was familiar with the part, but not with the lines. His burlesque house technique and his insistence on separating every vaguely amusing sentence and delivering it as a punchline increased the weakness of an already disjointed dialogue...

But what the crowd had turned out to hear was a concert version of the Marc Blitzstein adaptation of Threepenny Opera, which last week marked its 1,200th performance at the off-Broadway Theater de Lys.

Otto Klemperer, 72, painfully mounted the podium, planted his feet firmly apart, and gave the downbeat for Beethoven's Ninth Symphony...
