	Guardian \| Sarah Caldwell
		As a director, conductor and operatic impresario, Sarah Caldwell, who has died aged 82, played a significant role in social and artistic change in late-20th century America, distinguishing herself as a woman in predominantly male professions and creating original, worthy opera productions at a time when the public was waking up to the art form.
		However, Caldwell's decline as a public figure may have had as much to do with the politically conservative turn America took in the 1980s, the unrealistic expectations brought about by her visibility, and more unconscious prejudices to do with her appearance.
		Though her Boston career appeared to have unprecedented stability during the mid-1980s with the acquisition of the Orpheum Theater, she was sidelined by a long recovery from double pneumonia, and the theatre became a nightmare of disrepair and safety problems.
