Sobered by his wartime experience in the resistance, he turned increasingly to more austere works, three years ago undertook an opera based on the late Georges Bernanos' reverent drama The Dialogues of the Carmelites. In one of its rare premières of modern opera, Milan's La Scala put Poulenc's Dialogues on display...
Broadway Invasion. All three hits have brought national fame to their companies. Later this month Carmen Capalbo and Stanley Chase, the 29-year-old producers of The Threepenny Opera, will invade Broadway with the world première of Graham Greene's The Potting Shed, follow up with a New York premiere of O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten.

With the keen ear of a private eye for the giveaway phrase, Author Capote recorded the adventures of the Porgy company from the time they entrained in East Berlin to the première in Leningrad two nights and a day later. The result is an hilarious tour de farce, a knockabout comedy in which real bones are broken...
