...Folklore. Vasarely's debt to'Mondrian, Malevich and Seurat is apparent and acknowledged. But what Vasarely did was to build on the somewhat dry ideas of the Bauhaus and suffuse them with new life-the life of shifting perspectives, vibrant color harmonies and weighted geometric shapes. The deep, rich tonalities of such paintings as Chom and Axo-77, for which he often credits Hungarian folklore, are designed to give the viewer a sense of balance and wellbeing. In other works, like Ond-JG, the illusion of bulging forms acts as a magnetic force pulling the viewer into...

The role of Katasha, the aging, vindictive, bitchy noblewoman, requires a strong coloratura-type voice and a commanding stage presence, and Andrea Goodzeit provided both of these. Her voice had a pure yet vibrant timbre which eclipsed all of the other singers. She is a fine stage actress as well as a singer, and her demeanor was well suited to the role. similarly, Deborah Ward, as Yum-Yum, the child bride, had complete control of the character, although her voice was at times weak...
