Beefy, none too tall and often clad in blue jeans and tennis shoes, Flea Market Merchant Giovanni Vigliotto seemed an unlikely Casanova. Yet in a Phoenix courtroom, Vigliotto submitted a list of 105 women from 18 states and nine foreign countries he claims to have wooed and wed over the past 20 years, some of them more than once and all without benefit of intervening divorces.

The production was vehemently booed on its opening night in November by a segment of the audience that found the sight of witches flying through the air on broomsticks risible, the presence of a nude dancer inappropriate and the arrival of white-clad ballerinas during Macbeth's dream sequence comical. Some prominent critics were outraged: Donal Henahan, in the New York Times, said Macbeth "may just be the worst new production ... in modern [Met] history."
