Just a couple of years ago, the vegetable patches of Anting, a hamlet west of Shanghai, yielded some of the sweetest spinach this side of the Yangtze River. Now, out of farmers' fields, an entire German-style town has sprouted, its brightly hued gingerbread homes modeled on those of Weimar in Germany. The new town, which will soon house some 30,000 distinctly un-German people, was designed by Albert Speer, son of Adolf Hitler's favorite architect. Forty kilometers away in Songjiang, barefoot migrant workers are building another massive satellite city, this time a vision of ye olde England...
...girl, [goes mad and] dies after she finds out that her lover Albrecht?who is from a much higher rung on the social ladder?has deceived her ... Prima ballerinas want to dance Giselle.

'You have to be something almost not human to give a good rendering, because it demands so much. Wherever I went, that's what the people...

Typecast and getting no younger, she wants to play serious roles...
...small studio north of Copenhagen, Utzon drew on film footage of Sydney and, being the son of a naval architect, consulted admiralty charts of the harbor; he was struck by the similarity of Bennelong Point to the nearby Helsing?r-Elsinore peninsula, where Shakespeare set Hamlet. What eventually crystallized in his drawings was a raised plateau and airborne structures not unlike sails. In his original plans, the podium would house the backstage business; upstairs, the public spectacle would unfurl. Utzon is often cast by his critics as a Hamlet-like figure, a daydreamer unable to carry out his plans. This exhibition...
