The collection documents the life of Max Reinhardt (1873-1943), celebrated Austrian theater director and filmmaker, and offers a singular historical record of many aspects in the study of theater and its history\u2014acting, direction, stage design and costume design.<\/p>\n

A man of few words, Reinhardt’s success was based on a combination of intelligence, passion, enormous energy, and the ability to focus on the most mundane details while keeping the larger picture in constant view. Reinhardt believed that exceptional acting was the most important aspect of any theatrical presentation. He also believed in theater-as-spectacle, and his elaborate, elegant sets and imaginative stagings reflected that belief. He knew well how to achieve dramatic effect with minimal stage effects and knew which approach to follow with each play he directed and produced.\u00a0Reinhardt transformed\u00a0theatrical production\u00a0in the 20th century by playing a large part in the\u00a0elevation of the director to the key figure in theatrical production and the innovative use of new theater technology and experimentation with theater spaces and locales.<\/p>\n

During his lengthy international career, Reinhardt amply demonstrated his total commitment to artistic experimentation and the revelry of the creative imagination. He is\u00a0still recognized worldwide today for his significant role in the transformation and development of theater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
