HISTORIC EVENT

By Kevin Filipski
A contemporary of Shakespeare, Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) may not have been the sole inventor of opera, but the three complete operas that remain of his 21 musical stage works are considered the first truly mature attempts at what has now been a viable art form for the past four centuries. Comment.

THE ’STAR’ IS LUCAS

By Lisa J. Curtis
Star Wars: The Magic of Myth," the new exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, may make most museum-goers feel ill at ease. The objects on display - models, costumes and storyboards from the four "Star Wars" films that have been released to date - are, for the most part, not the conventional stuff of art exhibits.
