  1. “Vanessa” was originally a 4 act opera when it premiered at the Met Opera in 1958 under the direction of gay Greek-American conductor & musician Dimitri Mitropoulos with a set designed by gay British artist Cecil Beaton. By the time of this 1979 staging, Barber and Menotti had re-written it to be 3 acts and, sadly, the sets designed by Cecil Beaton had been destroyed in a fire at the Met’s storage units

    ~ Cecil Beaton
