Boris Goldovsky had dreams of piano stardom but when he knocked on the door of the Curtis Institute as a refugee from Hitler, he was told that the only opening was for an opera coach, and so he assured them that opera was his first love, and promptly went back to his new digs and asked his mother to tell him all he needed to know about opera.
He went on to put on the US premieres of Peter Grimes and of Idomeneo.
