Canceled La Scala “Candide” Back On?

Last week La Scala canceled a production of “Candide” that featured a dancing George Bush. This week, the production’s director says it’s back on. “In a long telephone conversation with La Scala General Manager Stephane Lissner, ‘I urged him to reconsider, and that’s what he’s done,’ Robert Carsen said. The two agreed to talk about specifics in January.”
