I think music and opera are even more relevant now for us in our modern predicament. We live lives that are so fragmented; we're often so distant from each other. Music always reminds me that to be human is to be richly connected with others, just as you must connect and respond to and with others during a performance.

It's a lovely time of the year there. If you have a chance take a steamer across the lake and visit Yvoire on the French side - a beautiful medieval village.
