The Juilliard School Library.
Gottlieb, Jane
The Juilliard School Library has received Yveta Synek Graff's
collection of Czech opera materials. Born in Prague and educated there
and in Paris, Mme. Graff has been a primary force in productions of
Czech operas around the globe. In his 6 November 2009 New York Times
article, Matthew Gurewitsch characterized her as the "Secret Weapon
of Czech Opera's Velvet Revolution." The collection includes
her master scores of works by Leos Janacek, Antonin Dvorak, and Bedrich
Smetana, with translations, transliterations, and performance notes, as
well as photographs, programs, and other memorabilia from her long
career.
