Photo by Angie Smith for the New Yorker
Here is what I did for October and November every Saturday and Sunday, 24 times per day. This photo pretty much sums up my scene in this opera. There is also a tenor and 4 audience members in this car that didn't quite fit in one shot. The physical and mental stress of that kind of repetition make it hard for me to have an objective view of the entire opera that was so much more than my one little part. Luckily, many other people were able to write more eloquently than me!
