Vincero! Vincero!
Turandot opened last night. It was a fine production. This is a picture of Calaf, Roy Cornelius Smith, after the show. His "nessun dorma" was superb. We were thinking for awhile that we might bis (encore) the aria but we chickened out.
I could have wished for a bigger crowd--the auditorium was perhaps 2/3rds full.
About 350 stayed afterwards for LORD T. AND ELOISE.

Turandot opens tomorrow
We had our final dress last night, which went very well. We should have an extraordinary opening tomorrow night.
We always work to try to build casts that are not only talented, but also cooperative. This may have been one of the best yet. It is thoroughly remarkable that artists with such demanding roles such as Turandot (Audrey Stottler) and Calaf (Roy Smith) can also be not just decent human beings, but warm, collegial, and just plain fun!
Tomorrow night is also our after-opera Lord T. and Eloise experiment. We plan to have a video up on U-Tube as quickly as possible, perhaps as early as Monday.
