[Leica] SARAH CALDWELL

[Bill Clough]

Hi there –

While it was the policy of the Houston Grand Opera not to conduct photo
calls – the photographer was expected to shoot during dress rehearsals – no
one told conductor Sarah Caldwell – once described  by The New Yorker as
being a "conducting steam engine.".  I was shooting from the front row. She
looked up, stopped her conducting, turned to me and commanded "You sir –
get out of here." I informed the director of the opera that I was under
contract, that I would charge the opera my full price even though I would
not be producing any photographs and demanded an apology from Caldwell. To
my surprise, she did:
