Artur Bodanzky (1877-1939) was an Austrian-born conductor, especially associated with Wagner at the Metropolitan Opera. His name also appears elsewhere in the catalogue as Arthur Bodanzky.

Bodanzky studied in Vienna, worked with Mahler, and became head of German repertory at the Met after moving to the United States. His Wagner broadcasts are important documents of the pre-war Metropolitan tradition.

His conducting has often been described as swift and theatre-driven, shaped by the practical demands of live opera. He understood how to keep Wagner moving onstage rather than embalmed in ceremony.

This page is a spelling-variant partner to the Arthur Bodanzky entry. The artist behind both labels is the same formidable Wagnerian conductor.
