Goethe lifted the Faust legend into the realm of cosmic philosophizing. Philosophy, though, is a literary rather than a musical exercise. Music can, on occasion, state a case, but it cannot argue the point. In the end, Boito simply tried to present more Goethe than any composer could hope to cope with...
...purely scenic means, the City Opera helped raise Boito to the realm of the abstract. Set Designer David Mitchell and Stage Director Tito Capobianco placed the Prologue not in Heaven but in space. The Epilogue suggests Earth as a dying planet illuminated by the corpse of a setting sun. The production was strongly cast in other major roles. Carol Neblett, a vocally arresting but inexperienced soprano, did both Margherita and Helen of Troy. As Faust, Tenor Robert Nagy sang powerfully but with obvious effort. Julius Rudel's conducting rose successfully to the peaks but tended to coast through...
Even once the (rather hypothetical) claims of radical insurgent movements have been ruled out of the realm of "equal access," however, Alker sees little hope that the results of the Cambridge Project can be widely distributed and applied in non-Defense areas.

To those like myself who follow and admire his extraordinarily productive career, the titles which separate one production from the next are as arbitrary as the covers which divide Pierre from Moby Dick. Mayer is always visible beyond the veil of his work. He is the farthest cry from...
