...have a great advantage over any recent host city of the Games," insists festival director Leo Schofield, "and that is just that building on Bennelong Point." Indeed, whatever quibbles you might have with the Opera House's acoustics or the dinginess of its orchestral pit, Utzon's poetic sails provide a charged and sacred space for musicians. As the Australian Chamber Orchestra's artistic director and lead violinist Richard Tognetti points out, "There's a certain gladiatorial aspect...

Yet you can forgive American High (Wednesdays, 9 p.m. E.T.) the creative phrasing: What is high school if not Survivor with diplomas? Besides, this reality series/teen show is a thousand times realer, factually and emotionally, than Big Brother and Dawson's Creek put together. That's partly because Cutler, who produced The War Room and directed A Perfect Candidate, let the kids film their own "video diaries" and partly because the show's MTV-meets-PBS kineticism captures the confused rush...
