Which conductor accompanied an opera performance from the piano when the orchestra went on strike?
I'm trying to trace the truth (or otherwise) of this story, A conductor (Andre Previn?) was due to conduct an opera (which one?) in Italy (where?); the orchestra refused to play so he had a piano put on stage and both conducted and accompanied the performance from the keyboard, to great audience acclaim. Has anyone heard this story or can confirm any details?
Not due to a strike but in a snow storm the former music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra, Wolfgang Sawallisch, sight-read the piano vocal score of a performance of opera excerpts from Wagner's "Tannhäuser" and "Die Walküre" in February 1994.
There was a bad snowstorm and the orchestra members could not get to the Academy of Music. The 3 soloists and chorus were at a hotel nearby so were able to perform. Maestro Sawallisch narrated the opera excerpts, conducted and accompanied the vocalists. An orchestra member David Booth was the page turner.
600 music lovers braved the blizzard to hear this amassing free concert.
