This book showcases a lesser-known aspect of Maurice Sendaks oeuvre--his set designs for operas and ballets. Maurice Sendak is well-known for his acclaimed childrens books, but he was also an avid music lover and designed a number of opera and ballet productions, among them Mozarts Magic Flute, Janáceks Cunning Little Vixen, Prokofievs Love for Three Oranges, Tchaikovskys Nutcracker, and an opera composed by Oliver Knussen based on Where the Wild Things Are. This book brings together nearly one hundred and fifty drawings from among the more than nine hundred in the Morgan Library & Museums collection, including preliminary sketches, storyboards, finished watercolors, and painted dioramas. The essays discuss the importance of music and movement to Sendak, the artworks that inspired his stage designs, and the historical and biographical contexts that formed them. The book reveals the breadth of Sendaks visual work for opera and ballet and highlights his keen sense of humor, his love of art history, and his ability to tell striking stories through his art.
