...Hindemith's rarely performed Cardillac. Premiered in 1926, the opera -a starkly sketched exercise in early expressionism-is hardly everyone's cup of tea. Yet as interpreted by Director Rudolf Hartmann and Fischer-Dieskau, cast as a goldsmith who peddles his handiwork by day only to redeem it at night by killing off his customers, Cardillac proved the surprise hit of the month-long festival. Stable Serenade. At 40, Fischer-Dieskau is a comparative newcomer to the world's opera houses. Long the foremost interpreter of German lieder, he only recently turned to opera on a more...

...chiefly in response to Martin Luther King's call for help. Responding to desperate calls for help would seem to be appropriate clerical behavior. We went as an act of deliberate identification with those in need whose cause is just, to lend encouragement and support, and hopefully to redeem in part our past record of passivity and neutralism. We went as American citizens deploring and protesting Wallace's disfiguration of American democracy. In Montgomery we discovered another reason for being present. Justice Department men encouraged us to join the march on the county courthouse on March...
