More on Jonathan Miller
Description from Wikipedia:
Sir Jonathan Wolfe Miller, CBE (born 21 July 1934) is a British theatre and opera director, author, television presenter, humorist and sculptor. Trained as a doctor in the 1950s, he first came to prominence in 1962 when his British comedy stage revue Beyond the Fringe came to Broadway. (It was written and performed by Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett, and himself.) Despite having seen only a few operas and not knowing how to read music, he began stage directing operas in the 1970s and has since become one of the world's leading opera directors with several classic productions to his credit. (Probably best known is his 1982 "Mafia" Rigoletto, set in Little Italy.) Along the way he has also become a well known and engaging television personality and familiar public intellectual in both the UK and the US.
