"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

A Little *Knightly* Humour

Although *Lohengrin* doesn't play a prominent part in this scene...he IS one of the Python Knights!  I love this scene!




And now, a little bit of our current production of "Lohengrin".





Hmm.....alas...nothing very Medieval about this.....it's set in Hungary in the 1950's... YUCK!  But, the singing is beautiful...the Orchestra is beautiful...  
I sit there for 4 1/2 hours and just close my eyes and listen. Although a Swan plays a prominent part in Wagner's Opera...here, he is hard-pressed to be found...  I am on a *quest* backstage to take a photo for you all.

My life is still very stress-filled... *Invaders* - as Marianne says, almost daily, checking out my apartment, touching MY drapes, walking over my carpets...it's awful - living in uncertainty.  But, thankfully, now at SF Opera, I segue between productions of *Moby Dick* (which I ADORE) and *Lohengrin*...(ah, the Music). This - and all of your love and support helps keep me strong and sane!


Love,
