...invasion of Iraq--and that was one of Mandela's tamer shots during what has been a nine-month barrage of criticism. In January, Mandela called Bush a "President who has no foresight, who cannot think properly," and accused him of "wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust." Mandela has also accused the U.S. of ignoring the U.N. because it is led by a black man, and has repeatedly called the U.S. a "threat to world peace." During a visit to Ireland last week, he told his audience that the U.S. and Bush "are a danger to the world...

If a wise God were in charge of the world stage, he would decree: Thou shalt not exploit the memory of the Holocaust by using it for cheap political purposes.

When it opens at the Chicago Opera Theater on June 4, the new Brundibar won't be like a biker film. Nor will it look like an opera about the Holocaust. Sendak has washed the production design with light. He has shifted his color palette from subdued hues to vivid primary schemes. Says director Thor Steingraber: "There are no yellow stars on the children's coats. There's no reference to concentration camps. The set is strictly a lovely Bohemian town...
