	Peter Sellars - MSN Encarta
		Sellars was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and attended Harvard University.
		Sellars cast the hero of Don Giovanni as a drug baron in New York City’s Spanish Harlem neighborhood; set Così fan tutte in a seedy diner on Cape Cod; and had Figaro, in The Marriage of Figaro, serving a wealthy master in a luxury apartment at New York City’s Trump Tower.
		Sellars sees theater, in the tradition of the Greeks, as a forum for discussion and says that whether people actually like his productions is beside the point.

	classical music - andante - breaking the mold: peter sellars' ill-starred stint at the adelaide festival
		Peter Sellars, the perennial enfant terrible of operatic staging and something of a left-wing arts evangelist, came to the Adelaide Festival more than two years ago as artistic director, promising to start a new conversation between Australia and the rest of the world.
		Sellars did videotape a message to be shown at the launch, but it was delivered to the airport late, missed its flight and did not arrive in time.
		Sellars' absence from the launch of his own festival was unprecedented — and, rightly or wrongly, fostered the view that Sellars had lost faith in Adelaide and was choosing Paris.

	The Connection.org : Peter Sellars and the Children of Herakles
		Refugees are the sort of people who too often live in our minds as a group, like "the homeless" or "the disabled." The theater director Peter Sellars says it's easier that way, to see them as television images, as long lines of bedraggled people stuck at some border somewhere.
		In a new production of an old Greek play, Peter Sellars is asking people to look longer, and think harder, about what it means to be a refugee.

	'JUDGMENT' DAY FOR PETER SELLARS
		Sellars, recipient of a MacArthur "genius" grant and professor of world arts and cultures at UCLA, is a maverick theater and opera director known for daring updates of classics from Aeschylus to Mozart.
		Her powerful poem is not so much a plea for tolerance as an indictment of, and declaration of independence from, a theology of hate.
		Sellars notes that art and politics have always been inextricably intertwined, and the fact that artists are singularly empowered to convey a message precisely because they don't have to stay "on message" is far from a new thing.

	PERICLES directed by Peter Sellars, reviewed by Don Shewey
		In the first scene, where Pericles divines the secret incest between Antiochus and his daughter, the pair appeared as pornographic images — he in a leather sandm harness, she in white bra and panties like an underwear ad.
		Time after time she talked her way out of being killed or defiled with a voluble eloquence that could only be explained in so young and unschooled a girl by acknowledging that goodness has its own power that can prevail over the violent and sexual powers in man and nature.
		While some of these scenes were staged with the visual splendor of Hans-Jurgen Syberberg, some were simply cheap thrills, like the storm at sea lit by a single lamp swinging wildly across the stage, casting huge, vertiginous shadows.
