Re: 'Die Tote Stadt' at the San Francisco Opera
Better late than never! Much of what the author says is true. However, I wish that journalists would stop declaring that Korngold "stayed on" in Hollywood, after A Midsummer Night's Dream. He didn't. He was not an exile by choice and divided his time between Vienna and Hollywood until the Anschluss of March 1938 made his return impossible.
