Few, if any, stage designers have had the impact of Jo Mielziner, who designed the sets for the original productions of Death of a SalesmanA Streetcar Named Desire, Carousel, and South Pacific, among many others. The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts recently added two private collections of Mielziner’s work to their already-extensive holdings, and the newly-acquired works are now on display at the library’s Lincoln Center location. Assistant Curator Annemarie van Roessel joins us to talk about Mielziner’s work, as well as what a curator in a performing arts archive does.
