...most rapturous melodies ever heard in Carnegie Hall poured out of that grand old barn last night. The occasion was the first English-language production of Kristina, a musical based on the four Emigrants novels by Wilhelm Moberg. Spanning two continents and the Atlantic in between, the three-hour epic has all the makings of a thrilling stage experience: noble peasants, dying children, powerful voices, the dream of a new land.

...hall like Quincy’s. Anyone who has lunched there knows the basic crowd dynamic: Right after noon and 1 p.m. classes, the place is more like a battle scene out of “Gladiator” than a serving station. Then, in the middle of each hour, with no classes disgorging hungry, recently sleeping students, it quietly recovers while the tables strain under full capacity, random students brushing shoulders as groups compete for space...
