Fabulous memories. Would do it again in a flash. Einstein was definitely the most challenging mentally and physically.
A rare treat to see these 3 wonderful operas together. My favourite was Akhenaten.
It was an incredible thing to be part of!
A highlight for me! I would do it again if given the chance! My favourite of the three portrait operas!
I have never counted to 8 so many times in my life!!
Unforgettable.
