Mystery dance: Elvis Costello and Michael Tilson Thomas, collaborators on a new ballet suite, in London

DREAM TEAM: Michael Tilson Thomas was at London's Abbey Road Studios last week recording a project with the London Symphony Orchestra for Deutsche Grammophon: a ballet suite for an adaptation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for the hot Italian dance company Aterballetto. The composer? Some guy named Elvis Costello. OK, will someone please call Italy and get that company here with the work? Any time will be fine. Thanks.
