Property from the Estate of Bliss Hebert and Allen Charles Klein, Miami, Florida

This lot is located in Chicago.

Bliss Hebert lived a life filled with music, beginning with his study of piano at age three. By five, he appeared in solo recitals, and when he grew older trained as a concert pianist in New York and Paris. He enjoyed an incredibly prolific and successful career, staging over three hundred productions of one hundred operas. A highlight of his career was his long collaboration with Igor Stravinsky, beginning with his direction of The Rake’s Progress at the Santa Fe Opera, where he was a founding member. Hebert also worked extensively with his husband, stage designer Allen Charles Klein, to create more than fifty opera productions. Hebert and Klein lived together in Miami, New York, and France. Freeman’s will present their collection across three auctions this Spring: The Collector’s Cabinet on March 11, European Furniture and Decorative Arts on April 23, and Interiors, Including the Estate of Bliss Edmund Hebert on May 8.
