As a result of limited freedom of speech, musicians, directors and artists were not permitted to openly express themselves, and they were forced to conceal the true message of the work. The use of Yiddish is probably a result of the building's location in the old Jewish quarter (now the Scheunenviertel). jacko1 - Aug, 04 2010 12:08pm Thanks Basia, now i feel not so old! basia - Aug, 04 2010 11:08pm Tony, I think, man, who has a young soul is not old. !!! jacko1 - Aug, 05 2010 01:08pm Basia, you make my day brighter, Prost!
