...Order proved a disappointment. By the end of 1942 Hungary had been looted clean by the Germans, found itself at war with three of the world's most powerful countries-which seemed quite a lot to a nation the size of Maine.

For openers, Impresario Irion chose The Opera Cloak, Walter Damrosch's latest one-acter, and The Fair at Sorochinsk, a rollicking opus by Russia's rum-nosed Immortal, Modeste Moussorgsky. Eighty-year-old Composer Damrosch conducted his curtain raiser without drowning out the audience's spirited conversation. But for The Fair at Sorochinsk, they sat up, shut up and pounded their...
