This book investigates her choices as an opera director, her influences, her philosophies, and her methods, and situates her work within the history of opera in America. Though she is remembered primarily as a conductor, her passion, and her greater influence on American opera, was through stage directing. With a repertoire that included ground-breaking interpretations of works such as Nono's Intolleranza 1960, Prokofiev's War and Peace, and Bernstein's Mass, Caldwell continually pushed her own artistic limits, provoked critics, intrigued audiences, and challenged the status quo of opera production. Her passion for opera, her creative use of new technology and her influence in bringing opera to all sectors of American society, culminated in 1997 when she was awarded the National Medal of Arts for her work as a pioneering woman in the American musical landscape, and a tireless and innovative arts entrepreneur"-- Caldwell, Sarah 1924-2006 Criticism and interpretation Caldwell, Sarah 1924-2006 (DE-588)132530511 gnd Opera Company of Boston Geschichte 1924-2006 gnd Opera producers and directors Masachusetts Boston Opera Production and direction Massachusetts Boston History 20th century Opera Stage-setting and scenery Massachusetts Boston History 20th century Opera Massachusetts Boston 20th century Dirigentin (DE-588)4648823-6 gnd Oper (DE-588)4043582-9 gnd Boston, Mass (DE-588)4007840-1 gnd Bendikas Kristina author BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 acq-record IDSBB A164 A164 MAG PSS IDSBB 700 1- Bendikas Kristina author SWISSBIB 583045421
