As solo piano pieces, these dances may have a certain bravura charm. As Castanet clicking, string-slurping symphonic exercises, they only sound vulgar.

There was some compensation, but not too much, in the performance Rafael Fruehbeck de Burgos splashed around the Dorothy Chandler. Pavilion.

Final Scene of Opera a Bit 'Foggy' NEW YORK UD The season premiere of Benjamin Britten opera "Peter Grimes" was nearing its conclusion at the Metropolitan Opera Thursday night when a malfunc-' tioning prop almost disrupted the final soliloquy by Jon Vickers, playing the title role of an English fisherman. The scene was the foggy English seacoast, and the fog rolled in on schedule from the wings. Then it rolled out over the orchestra, over conductor Colin Davis, and into the theater. Some of the audience laughed. Others, perhaps reacting psychologically, to the odorless water vapor, coughed.

Vickers, nonplussed, sang. Finally, assistant manager Francis Robinson ordered air conditioners activated, and the fog was cleared up. 'Sing Yiddish' Stars Max and Raisel Bozyk spark the comedy scenes in "Let's Sing Yiddish" at the University of Judaism Theater. They were also in the Broadway production of the folk-musical.
