We're already getting excited about that. And seeing that it's the Mozart year, it is only fitting.

There are lots of layers to these characters. Vocally, Handel is at his very finest. You have highly virtuosic coloratura arias that really display both the vocal artistry and the flourish that has become known as characteristic of Handel's writing. In addition to that, there are these beautiful passages, these beautiful arias that are also very legato, long phrases and beautiful (harmonic) progressions that really evoke those deeper levels of emotion that are part of what is being expressed in this story.

So in that sense, it's a story that really is vitally linked to a staged situation.

We had a stellar first year of development, and we're excited about how many applications are already in-house this year undergoing feasibility studies.

Back when I was in college, people used to talk about the alienation of the artist, not ever quite fitting in any place.

I'm really excited about London and seeing everything that's there. I think it will be overwhelming.
