San Diego Repertory Theatre has scheduled a portion of its six-play 1992-1993 season to include a new bilingual jazz opera, inspired by Calderon de la Barca's "Life's a Dream" and the San Diego premiere of George C. Wolfe's "Spunk." Also featured will be Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd," S. Ansky's "The Dybbuk" and the company's annual production of "A Christmas Carol," which is not part of the season package.
