THIS WEEK: the new Metropolitan production of Don Giovanni is pictured in the cover photograph (by Brenwasser) , showing one of Eugene Berman's hundreds of drawings for the opera, and elsewhere throughout this issue. Berman himself, henceforth retiring from stage design, is the subject of an article by R. L. B. Tobin, Director of the Edgar G. Tobin Foundation of San Antonio, through whose courtesy the pictures on pages 6 and 7 are reproduced. The Don Giovanni sets are described by Ian Strasfogel, son of the Metropolitan conduotor and now a scholarship student at Harvard. There are interviews with the star and conductor of Mozart's masterpiece, Cesare Siepi and Karl Boehm, and with a famous Don Ottavio of former days, Tito Schipa. Frank Sedwick is Chairman of the Spanish Department at Wisconsin University; Frank J. Warnke teaches at Yale. Edith Behrens, Music Editor at CBS, writes of Lotte Lehmann's recent classes in London; F. J. Freeman contributes the first of three articles on how the conditions under which opera is produced influence the final product.
