A new job for Milos Forman

Czech-born filmmaker Milos Forman, who won Oscars for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Amadeus," is back in Prague to stage an opera at the Czech National Theater.

The jazz opera "A Walk Worthwhile" by Czech authors Jiri Suchy and Jiri Slitr dates from the 1960s, when it had a run of 64 performances at their small theater. In 1966, Forman transformed the opera into a TV movie.

Now, more than 40 years later, Forman, 75, is back to transform it again for a big stage. It opens Sunday.
