Full of wit and razor sharp dialogue, Private Lives remains one of the most successful and popular comedies ever written. Written in 1929, Private Lives was brilliantly revived at Hampstead in 1962, bringing about a ‘renaissance’ in Coward’s career and establishing Hampstead as a prominent new theatre for London. Private Lives was a runaway hit when it debuted in 1930, and the play has remained popular in revivals ever since.

Features April 2009 — Vol. 73, No. 10 (http://www.operanews.org/Opera_News_Magazine/2009/4 /DRAMATIC_SOPRANO_CHRISTINE_BREWER.html) Encountering Previn In his eightieth-birthday year, André Previn looks back on an eclectic career that has taken him from Hollywood to the world's elite orchestras - and forward to his new opera, Brief Encounter, which opens at Houston Grand Opera next month. By BARRY SINGER Librettist Caird and composer Previn 1 of 6 1/9/12 12:11 PM Encountering Previn > Opera News > The Met Opera Guild http://www.operanews.com/Opera_News_Magazine/2009/4/Fea... © PWL Studio 2009 André Previn remembers the first opera he ever saw. "I was six or seven. We were still living in Berlin, where I was born, and my father, who adored music and was extremely German, thought, 'Well, now the kid has seen symphonic concerts, he's seen recitals, the time has come for him to see an opera.' Still, he worried, maybe operas are too long for one so young. My father looked in the newspaper and found a performance of Strauss's Salome, which he saw was short, a one-act. So the first opera I ever saw was Salome, but on a double bill with the ballet Coppélia, if you can believe it! Apparently the presenter figured a one-act was not worth real money, so they paired Salome with Coppélia. I adored Salome, but it was quite a while before I realized that Herod did not work in a toyshop." It is no secret that Previn, who turns eighty this year, wound up taking his time before revisiting the opera house as a composer - more than sixty years, in fact.
