About the conductor Erich Kleiber

Erich Kleiber (1890-1956) was born in Vienna and studied at the Prague Conservatory. His first major appointment was General Music Director at the Berlin State Opera in 1923 where he remained until 1934. Due to interference from the Nazis, Kleiber (who was not Jewish) resigned his post in 1934 and left Germany in 1935. After this, he conducted in London, Prague, Brussels, Buenos Aries, Amsterdam and Salzburg before taking up residence in Argentina in 1939. In 1948, he returned to Europe and became conductor of the Berlin State Opera in East Berlin which he resigned from in 1955 due to the poor conditions. From 1952 he was sought after as guest conductor in London, Vienna and particularly in Cologne and Stuttgart.
