Peter Sellars Named Musical America Artist Of The Year

“Sellars is best known for his work in opera, first coming into focus in the early 1990s with his then-revolutionary updates of the Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy, continuing through his collaborations with John Adams on Nixon in China and Dr. Atomic, among others, and on through his singular interpretation of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, recently staged with the Berlin Philharmonic and soloists at the Park Avenue Armory.”
