...female leads, the three little maids are endearing even within the limits of their parts. Patte Tuell (Yum-Yum) is coy and free of squelch, while Ellen Zachos' soprano is probably the show's best. Jacqueline Meily (Katisha) is a little below the rest of the cast, as she fails to belt out her ascerbic lines with the requisite spite...
...Year Two. Leading scorer Tania Huber (16 goals in 16 games) and netminder Nelia Worsley, the only woman ever to don the pads for the Crimson, have been lost through graduation. The returning cast includes wingers Sara Fischer (7 goals-16 assists-23 points) and Lauren Norton (9-9-18), center Firkins Reed (5-7-12) and all-Ivy honorable mention defenseman Julie Starr...
Despite the musical ambition implicit in the international cast and the Paris Opera name (Bergman used an all-Swedish cast for his Magic Flute), this Don Giovanni is musically undistinguished. Lorin Maazel's conducting sounds muddy and sluggish throughout--which could easily be the fault of the Exeter Street's Rocky Horror-blasted sound system. None of the singers does very much of the ornamentation most music scholars today believe was a critical part of performances in the composer's time.

As expected, Reagan won the poll, with 34.4% of the 1,326 ballots cast, while Connally, who had pressed hard for a squeaker by outspending the Californian $300,000 to $225,000, finished second, with 26.6%. A surprisingly strong third: George Bush, who collected 21.1% of the votes after spending a mere $40,000 and visiting the state only a few times. Three weeks...
Conceived by Paris Opéra General Director Rolf Liebermann, Don Giovanni is an attempt to go beyond the usual filmed operatic performances or made-for-TV studio productions. Joseph Losey (The Servant, The Go-Between) takes his cast of international singing stars out on location to the waterways of Venice and to some stunning Palladian villas in the countryside around Vicenza. Never mind that Ingmar Bergman's 1975 version of Mozart's The Magic Flute showed what enchanting results a modest, studio-bound production could achieve. Never mind, too, that the locale of the Don Juan legend...
