Some of the 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.

On that night 20 years ago, in the culmination of several weeks of Monday-night demonstrations, 70,000 people gathered on the city streets in a courageous demand for reform. That protest will be marked by the Festival of Light, www.leipzig.de, which will take place along the route of the original march and encompass illuminations, and video and audio installations on the themes of freedom, democracy and civic commitment.
