Soprano Teresa Stratas had to rely more on temperament and stagecraft than on an overtaxed voice, especially in the punishing higher reaches of Berg's writing. But her Lulu was sexy and mercurial, as much the victim as the exploiter of her powers. She was superbly matched by Baritone Franz Mazura's richly shaded portrayal of the newspaper magnate Dr. Schön, Lulu's patron and eventual husband.

It didn't snow inches in Chicago this winter, it snowed feet--seven and a half of them. More than 100 people died of snow-related causes and for six weeks everyone else in Chicago had trouble walking across the street and getting their cars out of their driveways.
