Arnold Schoenberg as Stage Director?

Arnold Schoenberg was always suspicious of stage directors who did not do what he wanted for his operas.  He became infuriated and stormed out of the rehearsals of his Erwartung and Die glückliche Hand at the Berlin Kroll Opera, 1928. Schoenberg demanded so many changes to the scenery, lighting, and acting, that our presentation show how he himself might have become a superb stage director not only of his own but other works as well.
