Composer and conductor Elliot Goldenthal is best known to film audiences for his stirring work on such action and suspense films as "Alien3" (1992), "Interview with the Vampire" (1994) and both "Batman Forever" (1995) and "Batman & Robin" (1997). Theater critics, however, have long acclaimed him as one the best composers of oratorios, concertos, and background music for stage productions. Something of a prodigy, Goldenthal had his first ballet ("Variations on Early Glimpses") performed at his high school when he was only 14. He demonstrated his versatility by playing in rock bands during the 1970s while also studying with John Corigliano in the 1970s and Aaron Copland in the 80s.
