Anton Seidl

The critics attributed much of the artistic success that attended the production of the Ring at Her Majesty's Theatre, London, in June of that year to his conducting.

[3] In 1883 Seidl went with Neumann to Bremen, and in 1884 he married Auguste Kraus [de] in Frankfurt, a distinguished singer of the German Opera Company.

Dvořák had added that subtitle to the title page of his autograph score in Carnegie Hall just before turning it over to Seidl.

Several thousand people attended the memorial, held at the Metropolitan Opera House, with the cremation following in Fresh Pond, Queens.

[11] Seidl's friends and colleagues commissioned sculptor George Grey Barnard to create a marble burial urn to hold the conductor's ashes.

After Seidl's widow declined the large ornate urn, Barnard carved a smaller, simplified version, which now holds both their ashes.
