In the Presence of (Future) Greatness

June 6, 2006

I just had to take some time to write about my colleagues in the Apprentice Program at Lyric Opera Cleveland. They are all, in a word, brilliant.

I am, on a daily basis, amazed at the level of talent they bring. Every one of them is on the road to greatness, if they play their cards right. And the best thing is that they are all wonderful people who I would be happy to call my friends. That’s not exactly common in this business.
So to all of you — Andy, Carol, Dana, Jeremy, Jessica, Josh, Kasey, Kim, and Philippe — you are all awesome, I love working with you, and getting to know you all has been great. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season with you.
