| biography:
| Opera director and conductor, born in Maryville, Missouri, USA. She studied violin, and while affiliated to Boston University formed her own opera company in Boston (1958). Overseeing every detail of the productions, staging, and music, she was notorious for just meeting last-minute deadlines and averting financial crises, but she made her opera company one of the most distinguished and innovative in the USA, especially noted for its productions of modern works such as Schoenberg's Moses and Aaron. In the 1970s she began to appear as a guest conductor of major orchestras. |
