Jonathan Miller
Director Jonathan Miller's career spans many different fields: author, lecturer, television producer and presenter, and director of theater, opera, and film. His involvement in opera began when he was invited to direct the British premiere of Arden Must Die by Alexander Goehr in 1974 and subsequently spent several seasons working closely with Kent Opera. At the English National Opera, Miller directed some of his most enduring successes-The Mikado, Rigoletto, The Marriage of Figaro, The Turn of the Screw, Rosenkavalier, and Carmen. He has also directed operas for La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna State Opera, the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, and Glimmerglass Opera. In addition to 1997 and 2001 performances of Bach's St. Matthew Passion, Miller directed a production of Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea at BAM in 1996 and Così fan tutte in 2003.
