Dear Laura:
How nice to hear that this piece helped you unleash the comic inside! I
will be performing it (soprano part) next week, and will think of you as I
do! Alas - no Wagnerian accoutremonts, but I will be changing colorful
costumes several times (to the chagrin of the other performers who will
remain in basic black formal attire throughout). I too have felt the power
of "entertaining" conquer a pretty formidable case of stage fright!
