...Levine was at the Met for a staff meeting to tie up loose ends in the casting and scheduling for next season. The session lasted almost until the 8 p.m. curtain. No supper-and a good thing too: he is a 5-ft. 10-in., 200-pounder trying to lose weight. Back home at 10 p.m., Levine worked until the wee hours at his desk on Berg's Lulu; he will be conducting it next season at the Met. Next day brought a meeting at a midtown hotel about this June's Ravinia Festival near Chicago, of which...
...this mysterious tar-pounder? He was captain of his high school soccer and lacrosse teams, played semi-pro soccer and was on the ski patrol at a New York state ski area. He can grab a football and casually fling it 50 yards--in a perfect spiral...

And like the 1920s blues singer, who was an imposing 200-pounder, Hopkins, 50, is a handsome ample woman. Rustling her voluminous, diaphanous blue caftan, she shimmies across the stage of Manhattan's Ambassador Theater in a rhythmic roll that more than matches her vocal size. Me and Bessie, Hopkins' nearly one-woman musical revue (she is backed up by two dancers), recalls the history...
