Also the Detroit News reports on Einstein on the Beach which played in previews in Ann Arbor over the weekend. "Revived Einstein Retains its Exponential Magic.":

And Anne Manson, conductor of the recording of Orphée returns to the Portland Opera and mentions her upcoming performances of Glass' Galileo Galilei.
