by HUGH MACDONALD
Mr. Macdonald is the general editor of the new complete edition of Berlioz's works. In this talk he discusses the way in which theatrical conditions in Paris affected Berlioz's original intentions both in the case of The Trojans and Benvenuto CeUini. He argues that The Trojans is a unity rather than two operas.
