He’s doing great things with the Milwaukee Symphony — and lives in Madison with his latest family.
He loves Wisconsin. Go figure.
agree with orlando furioso – this is one of the finest 11th hour replacements the Met has offered us
Wasn’t Edo de Waart married to Ruth Welting for about 15 minutes?
windycityoperaman, what’s the story with lyric’s orchestra?
Edo’s been around. When he first arrived at SFSO, he was involved with Shari Greenawald. By the time he left, he was married to a woman from Boston. Wasn’t he also once married to – or otherwise involved with – Christiane Eda-Pierre?
Not that it matters… I sang in SFSO Chorus during his last season. His farewell Verdi Requiem was pretty great. Edo was always gracious, kind and attentive to the Chorus. (Must admit, we were pretty damn great.) Soloists: Susan Dunn (at the beginning of her short career-incredible); Daniel Harper (then an Adler fellow, last minute replacement for an “ailing” James King); Paul Plishka; (in his prime); and, last but not least, Brigitte Fassbaender. Her Lux Aeterna was – and remains- unforgettable.
Alto, whadda mean? Wisconsin’s beautiful and Madison’s great! John deMain landed there because his European wife, after a visit, decided that was where she wanted to live in the U.S. If I could make Chicago money in Madison, I’d move there in a heartbeat…

Don;t know about Eda-Pierre, but de Waart was married to Roberta Alexander.
I heard that REQUIEM; the chorus and Dunn were great; but the bass was James Morris, actually. I loved the intensity of what BF ( “D, YK!”)
but her register breaks were pretty pronounced for this type of music.
“Alto, whadda mean? Wisconsin’s beautiful and Madison’s great!”
Be that as it may, you surely have to admit that it’s not the first place most big-deal international conductors from places like The Netherlands think of setting up headquarters.
I remember the hubbub about Edo de Waart quitting the Hong Kong orchestra and taking his family away because of the air pollution – he claimed it was making his family sick.
Sounds like he’s a … er….. piece of work!
But I’m still looking forward to his Rosenkavalier.
Krunoslav, you’re right!!! Wrong soprano…
Alto, as for Madison, I heard that deMain’s wife said that no city she’d visited in the U.S. reminded her as much of Europe… Far as I’m concerned, not faint praise, if not the obvious choice. Personally, it reminds me of my hometown – Berkeley, CA – with seasons.
Does anyone out there have a copy of de Waart’s Rosenkavalier with Lear/von Stade/Welting? Here’s the only clip I can find:
