"The coffee-table-sized book is excellent, but if you have any chance at all, do visit the exhibit...The maquettes alone, those little models of stage sets, are worth the trip, because they really have to be seen up close to transmit their weird magic….The drawings benefit from equally close scrutiny, but they can also be seen to good advantage in the catalog." —The Daily Beast
"This book is a must for theater buffs and Sendak aficionados, particularly those who were unable to see the Morgan Library’s exhibition, Drawing the Curtain: Maurice Sendak’s Designs for Opera and Ballet, earlier this year. “ —Fine Books & Collections Magazine
This book showcases a lesser-known aspect of Maurice Sendak's oeuvre--his set designs for operas and ballets. Maurice Sendak is well-known for his acclaimed children's books, but he was also an avid opera lover and designed a number of sets for opera and ballet productions, among them Mozart's The Magic Flute, Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen, Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges, Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, and an opera by Oliver Knussen based on Where the Wild Things Are.
