On July 3 I saw the dress rehearsal for the Lincoln Center Festival presentation of Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Die Soldaten. As early signs indicated, it's an astonishing experience; details will follow in a New Yorker review. Unfortunately, the only tickets still available for the run — 7/5 to 7/12 — are in the $150-250 range; cheaper seats are all gone. There's a video preview at the New York Times website.
