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.
