...Shirley Verrett as Lady Macbeth and Bulgaria's Nicolai Ghiaurov as Banquo. On the podium was Claudio Abbado, the company's former music director who, at 43, is a conductor of international stature. The production was conceived and staged by Italy's Giorgio Strehler (see box). For Strehler, it was one of three moments in the spotlight. His staging of Figaro was the first hit of the Paris Opéra's run in New York. This week La Scala will introduce his production of Verdi's Simon Boccanegra...
Although Kaiser is impressed by such Italian theatrical and musical artists as Milan's Director Giorgio Strehler, Conductor Claudio Abbado and Pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, he is bored by the country's literature. "There are not many good Italian novels, probably because the Italian language has become over-rhetorical." Like Steiner, Kaiser is impressed by the intellectual ferment in France, particularly "the discussions influenced by Claude Levi-Strauss and the structuralists on one side and the Sartre pupils on the other." But except for the novels of Michel Butor and Claude Simon, whom he considers the most talented...
Wolfgang insisted that Meistersinger was nothing more than "another experiment in our workshop" and was not necessarily a precedent for future productions. Already, he pointed out. he has signed up two of Europe's more unorthodox young directors, Munich's August Everding and Milan's Giorgio Strehler, to stage works in 1969 and 1970. "Such a program," he said, "doesn't look like a triumph for those prophets who keep predicting that Bayreuth is going to sink into a quagmire of provincialism, or does...
Luciferin (an enzyme or organic catalyst) is responsible for the firefly's strange cold, yellow-green light. Not much is known about its complex chemistry but Dr. Strehler points out an extraordinary fact. The light that comes from luciferin has been analyzed spectroscopically and turns out to be very similar to the fluorescent glow given off by riboflavin (vitamin B2) when it is irradiated with invisible ultraviolet...
...rear ends of Dr. Strehler's martyred fireflies may serve another purpose too. One of the chief concerns of the Oak Ridge laboratory is radiation sickness, the damage that atomic-age radiation (mostly gamma rays) does to living tissues. This damage is not mere "burning"; it is chiefly due to subtle chemical changes produced within the cells. When chemists have a better understanding of the relation of light to life, they stand a better chance of protecting atomic-age humans against gamma rays, which are "ultra-high-frequency light...
