ludging from the thunderous opening-night ovation, most of the audience agreed with the critic who hailed the return of the "real Richard Wagner" to Bayreuth. Others deplored the production. "It was," said one reviewer, "as if Wieland had never lived...

Then perhaps we can change and begin to build as did the Romans, the Greeks, the Persians, the Egyptians?begin to build a real environment that is a lasting investment rather than something to be destroyed...
Bypassed Duct. After the incisions were made, the real technical difficulties began. Moore and his chief assistant, Dr. Alan Birtch, clamped off the portal vein, which delivers blood to the liver for chemical processing, and the inferior vena cava.

Freud, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Arnold Schoenberg and Irving Thalberg make cameo...
