The Last Impresario: A Theatrical Journey from Transylvania to Toscana
The Last Impresario: A Theatrical Journey from Transylvania to Toscana
"The stars were aligned: the US had successfully used the performing arts as soft currency on the world stage. In the 1970s, Peter Klein, a recent immigrant residing in New York, captured this new fascination with cutting-edge US performing arts in Italy and then around the world. The backstage theatrics of these efforts in managing the international cultural, social, and political challenges of prestigious performing art companies during Peter's forty-five-plus-year career are fascinating." JONI CHERBO, PhD
"Peter Klein's memoir is a page-turner in every sense-starting with Peter's extensive travels with preeminent guitarist Andrés Segovia, and continuing with fascinating stories from his years presenting artists such as Liza Minnelli, Arthur Mitchell, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Above all, Peter chronicles the hard work, drama, and never-ending surprises of his two decades touring George Gershwin's masterpiece Porgy and Bess worldwide-from China to Israel, from Trinidad to Australia, and beyond." MICHAEL LORIMER, CLASSICAL GUITARIST
"Peter Klein is a storyteller. He begins with the 'menacing oppression, ' as he puts it, of Communist Romania, where he grew up. He was twenty-three when he found his calling in New York as a cultural ambassador for the arts, which, he learned, could break through barriers and borders. There are big names and adventures in his telling-the time he had to rush Andrés Segovia's spectacles to the White House for a performance, or tangled with the mob in Sorrento, or came up against the racism of theatrical unions when he toured Porgy and Bess. In the end, this is a tale of a life's passion, along with the determination and imagination it takes to create the situations in which artists and audiences can thrive." AMEI WALLACH
