Autographed and inscribed original Manny Greenhaus of New York 8x10 photograph, Miami Beach, 1962. His early career was as a violinist and he was a member of the Berlin Philharmonic prior to turning to conducting. Allers became a well respected conductor of both symphonic and operatic music in Europe. He emigrated to the United States in 1938 just prior to the Anschluss and initially conducted The Ballets Russe de Monte Carlo on their National and South American tours. His friendship with Maurice Abravanel, another refugee, led to his introduction to Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, when he filled in as Music Director of their “Day Before Spring.” He instantly won their praise and he became their Music Director for their next great hits, “Paint Your Wagon,” “Brigadoon,” “My Fair Lady,” and “Camelot.” He won the Tony Award as Best Music Director in 1957 for “My Fair Lady” and 1961 for “Camelot.” Allers also maintained work in opera, conducting 72 performances at The Metropolitan Opera between 1963 and 1976. In 1962 he was appointed Music Director of the Tonkunstler Orchestra in Vienna and the Gartnerplatz Theater in Munich.
