Daniel Schmid

Daniel Schmid (1941) spent his early youth in a grand hotel that was run by his mother and his grandma. The 'spirits' and secret cubbyholes in the hotel stimulated his creativity. Schmid, a widely respected feature director and opera producer (including Bluebeard and Lulu), has been a welcome guest since the early days of the Rotterdam festival.
