The Austrian Max Reinhardt (1873-1943) was one of the leading exponents of theater of the early twentieth century. As an actor, a director, an impresario and a pedagogue, he tried his hand at all theatrical genres, and discovered and launched an infinite number of talents, including cinematic ones. His multifaceted activity, whose nucleus was Vienna and Berlin, ultimately spread throughout Europe and the United States. In America, where he remained until his death, Reinhardt opened acting schools, founded festivals and staged some of his most memorable productions. His work, caught up in the complexity of infinite references to contemporary history (and not just that of theater) is the subject of a new, in-depth re-evaluation.
