Last night the Leverett House Opera Society opened its production of "Le Renard" and "The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore."

He was director of the Met's Rockefeller-endowed, monastery-like Cloisters, overlooking the Hudson, from its very inception, when he virtually designed it by staking out full-scale mock-ups in burlap. Chosen from among 150 potential candidates to become director...
