...mustaches. For its new Die Fledermaus, televised by PBS on New Year's Eve, the Metropolitan Opera has constructed outsize rooms in Johann Strauss's idealized waltzing city with such vivid realism that they could be sold today as luxury condominiums. Eisenstein's residence comes equipped with a spacious sun porch; Prince Orlofsky's pleasure palace boasts both a grand foyer and a palm-court refectory that make Maxim's look understated. When it comes to grandeur, Otto Schenk and Gunther Schneider-Siemssen's magnum of a production has popped its cork...
Recent Met stagings -- notably Franco Zeffirelli's spacious La Boheme from 1981-82 and his Tosca, for which Rome was rebuilt, two seasons ago -- also have marooned their casts in movie sets. Presto: singing pygmies. Now comes this extravagant Fledermaus with singers who become a backup chorus to the brocade and the woodwork. Rosalinde (Soprano Kiri Te Kanawa) gets lost in the crowd during Orlofsky's drinking party in Act II, and the vengeful Dr. Falke (Baritone Michael Devlin) blends nicely with the patterned wallpaper and the potted ferns...
Larson lives and works in a spacious Tudor-style house in suburban Seattle.

Larson, clad usually in T shirt, jeans and running shoes, carries sketchbooks wherever he goes, doodling and jotting down phrases. But the hard labor takes place at the drawing board overlooking Union Bay, where he sits and stares, and stares and sits, until the ideas flow...
...Quad's own private health club, is already a step in the right direction. So is the hamburger option, available only at the Quad. But racketball and beef can't do the trick alone. It will also take substantially more spacious rooms and better shuttle bus service. If buses were to have more direct routes and were to run twice as often as they presently do, the Quad would only be half as far away from the Yard...
...four days last week the spacious, green campus of Konkuk University in Seoul was under siege, the scene of the worst violence between radical students and South Korean authorities in months. The clash came as roughly 2,000 students occupied five university buildings to protest the policies of President Chun Doo Hwan, who has repeatedly turned aside demands for democratic elections, and U.S. support for the Seoul government. Barricading stairwells, the protesters threatened to set themselves on fire if police moved...
