Year of discord and landmarks in 1969 classical music
The year saw financial trouble in music centers and declining concert attendance while major events occurred. Beverly Sills debuted at La Scala and Bernstein left the New York Philharmonic, with Boulez named successor. Vienna marked three triumphs as Alice Tully Hall opened in New York and Moog synthesis drew attention. Atlanta Opera dissolved amid funding woes. Kennedy Center funding lagged. Bayreuth hosted The Flying Dutchman with outside producer August Everding.
