Sellars, 37, is the former wunderkind director who brought composer John Adams and librettist Alice Goodman together for Nixon in China (1987) and The Death of Klinghoffer (1991).

A production at Boston's Huntington Theatre is already planned for this fall. One of the benefits of a staging as skillful as the Goodman's is that it can reveal all that's wrong with a script. Wilson is a prodigious rewriter: he was revising Seven Guitars as late as three days before it opened. As it moves around the country, he will surely be able to fathom its problems and remedy them.
