A British director who mounted many productions of William Shakespeare at the Old Vic and Stratford, took a radical position on this question on work of theatrical art which is at the same time a distortion of the author's intention. Peter Sellars, the iconoclastic young director who is now head of the American National Theatre at the Kennedy Center, has, to his intense pleasure, been compared with a vandal running through the Rijksmuseum slashing old masters. The singers do not have big voices, but Sellars's is not the bombastic operatic style.

This article presents information regarding the PepsiCo Summerfare in New York. Whether one likes his work or not, Peter Sellars is among the chief reasons Summerfare continues to be one of the most stimulating festivals of the year. Last season, he scandalized and delighted sold-out houses with his version of "Cosi fan tutte," which took place in a diner owned by a Vietnam veteran. Sellars's Don Giovanni is no free- wheeling aristocrat but a lowlife junkie who hangs out among the sort of tenements the critics' bus passes before it hits the Cross-Bronx Expressway. The front door's glass is cracked, the stoop is broken down, the bell doesn't work arid there is graffiti everywhere.

Reviews four ballet performances "Swan Lake," "Giselle," "Don Quixote," and "Nutcracker," presented by the ballet company The Bolshoi.
