The divine Sarah: Richard Dyer salutes the genius of Sarah Caldwell, whose pioneering productions of Moses und Aron and Benvenuto Cellini helped put opera on the map in Boston.
It is difficult to imagine two operas that differ from each other more than Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini and Schoenberg's Moses und Aron, the one a vivacious, cheerfully amoral swashbuckler, the other a profound philosophical meditation on the origins of monotheism.
