Dear Penny,
Your performance was skilled and beautiful. The entire company presented a difficult opera with great talent. Members of the audience were in tears. They were so touched by your enactment of a son returing to his long lost Mom. Each Year the Opera gets better.
Happiness, Health and Wonder in the New Century
Love, Karen Lanzillo
