Scope and content
The letter is written in German, with copies of the translation attached.

Carl Ebert writes, “In any normal theatre the decorations are made after intensive and repeated discussion between producer and designer under the accepted manner that the producer is not there for the designer but the designer for the producer.”

He continues, “Glyndebourne will never find a producer of real standing if the laughable rule of predominance of the designer over everything else is not broken.”
