Editorial Reviews

Andre Previn has enjoyed an inarguably remarkable career, rising from humble beginnings as a German refugee to become one of the world's best respected composers and orchestral directors. Previn has won Academy awards for his film scores, served as conductor for the London Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and recorded a series of well-received albums as a jazz pianist. In 1998, Previn expanded his horizons to include opera as he wrote the score for an operatic adaptation of Tennessee Williams' classic drama A Streetcar Named Desire, and this documentary offers a look at Previn's remarkable career as he prepares for the world premier of his opera.
