They opened with "Pirates of Penzance" and "Cox and Box," probably not the outstanding works, but certainly representative operettas. "Pirates of Penzance" has one of the magnificently involved plots around which Gilbert embroidered his witty songs and speech...

The only cancellation: Professor Skupa's Puppet Theatre, which was forbidden by the Czech government to leave Prague...
...Baton. Last week Prades' great three-week Bach festival (TIME, June 12) was over. But the feeling of it still lingered on. It had been "a reunion of hearts," 73-year-old Pablo Casals told a farewell gathering of his friends. The musicians who had come to play with and listen to Bach's most famed modern interpreter enthusiastically agreed...
