To get ready for the Mopper lecture,
you can head over to the Music Box
in the Max M. Fisher Music Center in
Detroit to hear an 8:30 p.m. Friday,
April 20, Pro Musica concert showcas-
ing the music of Maurice Ravel, known
as one of the French Impressionist
musicians, along with Claude Debussy.
A pianist, he composed two operas
and many chamber works; he is prob-
ably best known for his orchestral
work, Bolero.
The concert, sponsored by the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra, is
evocative of that which Ravel himself
debuted in Detroit in 1928, during a
trip to the U.S. in which he befriended
Jewish composer George Gershwin,
who like other American jazz artists,
became an inspiration to Ravel.
Tickets to the concert are $40. Call
(313) 576-5111 or go to

Opera Opus
New to Detroit, stage manager Ken
Saltzman should have his hands full
with the Michigan Opera Theatre's
production of Giacomo Puccini's
Turandot, known for its exotic
orchestration and lavish produc-
tion values. The work is the last true
manifestation of Italian opera in the
romantic 19th-century style.
Turandot, a tale of royal love set
in China, opens MOT's spring season
at the Detroit Opera House. It will be
performed 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April
21; 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 22; 7:30
p.m. Wednesday, April 25; 7:30 p.m.
Friday, April 27; 7:30 p.m. Saturday,
April 28; and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April
29.
Following Turandot, MOT hosts
Mozart's The Abduction From the
Seraglio, a company premiere, May
12-19. Set in Turkey, the libretto was
originally written in German, but
MOT will stage Abduction in English.
Closing the season will be the French
opera Romeo and Juliet, by Charles
Gounod, June 2-9. Canadian Jewish
director Bernard Uzan helms the pro-
duction.
Single tickets are $28-$120 and are
available by phone at (313) 237-7464
or (248) 645-6666; or online at www.

as a scientist. To read the article,
go to Time.com and put the words
"Einstein and Faith" into the search
engine; the article will come up.
One possible source of Einstein's
genius is explored in this month's
Commentary magazine.
Charles Murray, in his article
'Jewish Genius," provides an inter-
esting new hypothesis about why
Jews "are extravagantly overrepre-
sented in every field of intellectual
accomplishment." You'll be surprised
at his ultimate answer. Go to corn-

is found on the front page of the site

Peter, Paul & Tony?
Maybe famous Jews have an uncon-
scious affinity for one another. On
March 28 - in the middle of the
night - singer-songwriter Peter
Yarrow, 68, most famous as Peter
of Peter, Paul & Mary, accidentally
walked into the Washington, D.C.,
home of famous sportscaster and
Washington Post columnist Tony
Kornheiser, 58.
Yarrow told Kornheiser's startled
wife who he was and that he made a
mistake because he was jet-lagged
from a trip to Israel and was looking
for a house with the same number
on a nearby street. She didn't call
the police and wait-
ed until the next
evening to tell her
husband about the
incident.
Kornheiser, a fan
of Yarrow's, was
disappointed at not
Peter Yarrow
meeting Yarrow,
but he did get
Yarrow on his radio
show and confirmed
that it was indeed
Yarrow, not some
burglar pretending
to be the musician.

Kornheiser
the whole thing,
