The beloved and acclaimed children’s book author Maurice Sendak (1928–2012) was also an avid opera lover who designed sets and costumes for several productions. In 1978 he was invited by Frank Corsaro to create designs for the Houston Grand Opera’s staging of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute (1791), which opened two years later. The Magic Flute, one of Sendak’s favorite operas, was the first theatrical production he worked on, and it marked the beginning of many future projects for the opera and ballet.
