Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Not so shocking: These costumes; designed by Toronto artist Harold Town for the National Ballet of Canada's production of The House of Atreus; are supposedly designed to shock Torontonians. But last night at the O'Keefe Centre Torontonians refused to be shocked - not one member of the audience walked out. As well as Town; two other local artists were prominent in the production. The music was composed by Harry Somers; the choreography by Grant Strate.
