...Berlin's Deutsche Oper and Conductor Hermann Scherchen have brought Moses and Aaron out of the wilderness. Last week the Deutsche Oper's 318-member traveling company performed it for the first time in Rome. The staging, obviously, was an unrealistic but no less gripping realization of Schoenberg's directions.
