From: Sandy Pallot Klein <taxi@flinet.com>
I WAS AT THE PREMIERE AFTER HAVING GIVEN, THROUGH ROSTROPOVICH, THAT
LIMITED PERMISSION. THERE WAS BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CRITICAL
REACTION. BUT A HUGH SUCCESS WITH THE AUDIENCE. I UNDERSTAND _LOLITA_
HAS BEEN IN THE STOCKHOLM REPERTORY EVER SINCE. I DISAGREE WITH SOME OF
THE _TIME_ COMMENTS, AND CONCUR WITH SOME, ALTHOUGH THE WRITER GOT THE
PERMISSIONS STORY WRONG. IN PARTICULAR, THE STAGING WAS SUPERB, AND
LISA GUSTAFSSON A VERY LUCKY FIND. THE LIBRETTO HAS JUST BEEN
NABOKOVENGLISHED FOR POSSIBLE FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
