Japanese: ラインハルト（英語表記）Reinhardt， Max

Born: September 9, 1873 in Baden
[Died] October 31, 1943. Austrian director from New York. Real name Goldmann. Recognized by O. Brahm and others, he appeared as an actor at the Deutsches Theater, but in 1903 he turned to directing, making full use of lighting, music, and sound to create imaginative plays that emphasized visual elements rather than the literary quality of the plays. He is famous for spectacular productions such as Oedipus the Great (1910) in Vienna and The Miracle (11) in London, but in the 1920s he directed many works from classical to modern times at theaters in Vienna and Berlin. After the rise of Hitler, he continued to work overseas, and in 1934 he directed the film A Midsummer Night's Dream in Hollywood. After 1938, he settled permanently in the United States.

オーストリアの演出家。本名 Goldmann。 O.ブラームらに認められ，俳優としてドイツ座に出演したが，1903年演出に転じ，照明，音楽，音響などを駆使して，戯曲の文学性よりも視覚的要素を重視した想像力豊かな舞台をつくりだした。ウィーンにおける『オイディプス大王』 (1910) ，ロンドンの『奇跡』 (11) などのスペクタクル的舞台が有名であるが，1920年代にはウィーンおよびベルリンの劇場で，古典から現代にいたる多くの作品を演出した。ヒトラーの台頭後は海外で活動を続け，34年にはハリウッドで映画『夏の夜の夢』を演出。 38年以後はアメリカに永住した。
