Originally destined to work in a bank, Ebert\u2019s passion for the stage led to him studying with Max Reinhardt before bringing \u2018his experience as actor and theatre director to opera production in the 1920s, revolutionising the staging of opera in Germany in Italy\u2019 and then in Britain in the 1930s, while also \u2018staging operas in South America and across Europe, and founding the National Theatre in Turkey from scratch\u2019 (dustwrapper blurb). The biography was written by Ebert\u2019s son, the director Peter Ebert, with the help of Gritta Weil, who was, like Carl Ebert, a refugee from Nazi Germany and the \u2018Mother Superior\u2019 to the foreign writers\u2019 desk at <i>The Observer<\/i> from 1945 until 1984. Weil was also a lifelong opera enthusiast, and had commented on an early typescript of the biography, helped with the editorial process, and was thanked both in the acknowledgements \u2018for encouragement and guidance\u2019 (p. viii) and in the presentation inscription for her \u2018prodding and so much hard work\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2019_06-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-474\" style=\"width:350px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><br><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The loosely-inserted book review, appropriately published in <i>The Observer<\/i> on 23 May 1999, praises the \u2018affectionate biography by his son Peter, also a director with many operatic triumphs to his name\u2019, and notes that the book was launched that afternoon, \u2018at a new production of Debussy\u2019s <i>Pell\u00e9as et M\u00e9lisande<\/i>, the last work that Carl Ebert directed for Glyndebourne\u2019. Also included is the cover letter from The Book Guild Limited to Gritta Weill, sending her the book and (on a separate sheet, with accompanying RSVP card) an invitation from Peter Ebert for the launch lunch, hosted by Sir George Christie at the theatre at Glyndebourne, \u2018the theatre which [Carl Ebert] always called \u201cmy favourite baby\u201d\u2019.
