But it was when she met the
world famous Stravinsky that her
horizons widened. With his assis
tant, Robert Craft, she sang often
at the Monday Evening Concerts
in Los Angeles, and these two men
greatly influenced not only her
musical career, but her thinking
as well. At the Ojai Festival in
1954 she sang under Stravinsky
and has since recorded a number
of his songs. Two seasons ago, she
was chosen for his soloist at the
Venice Festival and also at Rome.
Marilyn Moire nad first tried
her operatic wings in leading roles
with the Los Angeles Guild under
Carl Ebert, now director of the
Berlin State Opera. In 'the summer
of 1957, she flew far the third time
to Europe for appearances at the
Salzburg and Vienna Festivals* and
from there accepted year-long con
tracts for opera in Germany. This
aoason she has been singing regu
lariy such starring roles as Minnie
in “The Girl of the Golden West”,
Amelia in “Simon Boccanegra”,
and Giuletta in “Tales of Hoff
man”, a role she has sung over 50
times.
