...accompanied by his second wife Katya, a Hungarian, and son Piotr, 7, Lyubimov will next mount an adaptation of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita at the American Repertory Theater at Harvard in May and Berg's Lulu at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in November, followed by a string of European dates. He describes himself unhappily as "homeless" but says he would like to educate his son in the U.S.: "Here, schoolchildren would give a great diversity of answers in their essays about Crime and Punishment.

A coal-burning stove provides the only heat in winter and helps dry the rows of fetid clothes that hang on string lines. The miners sleep on pads on top of grimy two-level cement-slab bunks and store their possessions in small wooden lockers. One of Olebogeng's roommates was still there, packing T shirts for his two young daughters. "I'm gone so much, I'm surprised they recognize me," said...
