A performance of Arnold Schonberg’s opera, “Moses and Aaron,” last night, as one of the events of the West Berlin Festival Week, enchanted most of the audience.
A small group which protested noisily against the opera was described by Walter Karsch, West Berlin Daily Tagenspiegel critic, as anti-Semitic. He wrote that the anti-Semitic outbursts were aimed not only at Schonberg and his opera but also against the conductor, Herman Scherchen, a Jew.
