How ever you re-do it, I'm sure it will be as amazing as it is now. Please keep all of your amazing pictures! I love seeing all of the people you've met, places you've been, etc. It's quite inspiring to a midwestern teenage girl with big dreams. :) Toi toi toi for Norma! <br /><br />LizzieManicMezzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386214444367837381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984873659848293247.post-8852922793943365422010-07-03T20:27:34.005-05:002010-07-03T20:27:34.005-05:00Dear Joyce:

Even though he is familiar with some Handel, Gluck and some Mozart, this was his first encounter with Le Nozze.

If only I hadn't been too shy to comme and tell you personally ... :-) To be honest, the final rondo was breathtaking, especially at the very end, as you're lifted up :-) ...
