The undul ating- lim· of the large silver screen med to ftmn thr three walls of the rooms is like the gracefully curved lines of ~Iozart's melodie s. The silver furniture seems the n·n· essence of his arias. Sim plicity -ac hieved through elegance of conception in both staging and mu sic re~ults in a unity that 1s enchanting. En~ry gesture of the actors is tinted to the rhythm of the mu-sic, making the artists so perfectly related to the llltt _.,ical background that even without hearing a note one could find delight in the pan tomim e.
