Elijah Moshinsky, refugee who became a celebrated opera and theatre director – obituary

  • Eliajah Moshinsky, who has died from Covid-19 aged 75, was an opera, theatre and television director known for the intensity of his stagings, notably at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, where he worked with singers such as Plácido Domingo in Otello, Jon Vickers (Samson et Dalila) and Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Il trovatore). While making his name with a stripped-back 1975 staging of Britten’s Peter Grimes that was described as “Brechtian”, he could not be pigeonholed as a minimalist director, soon learning to spend big budgets with the rest of them. The works he tackled ranged from Wagner’s Tannhäuser to Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance, a joint production for English National Opera and Chicago Lyric Opera that was a box-office success despite not finding favour with the critics.
