Walt Thorp Checks In:

Hi Mark, Mike, Paul, Lynn, Charlie and Andrew!

I just wanted to express my appreciation to you for an extraordinarily wonderful website that all of us enjoy and rely upon on a very regular basis.

I never cease to be amazed by the commitment of our Super corps to continually do it better and better. As I said in my email to the Supers for Manon Lescaut (and it would apply to the other productions as well): "superb onstage performances by our band of 'crack whores,' nuns (we love our lady Supers---and they are the most elegant ladies even if they can't decide whether to 'get-thee to the nunnery' or 'sell it on the street'), swell soldiers, 'meat packers' (hi, Eddie), lascivious lackies, patient picadors, tolerant toreadores, chilled-out cholos, etc."

And I am so pleased that you celebrate our not-so-little opera lives in prose and photos for all of us to relive these moments of music and madness.

Love to you all,

Walt
