that's one.
Chorus Master T found me after the show and said great job on the top C-flat. (Me: "Thank you. I liked it." Him: "I did, too." [g])
I clipped a picture of my grandparents in my folder as a sort of talisman for the Kaddish symphony, and it was kind of awesome.
Three curtain calls, which isn't as many as Alexander Dane got for playing Richard III, but still not at all shabby. :-)
Dr. Samuel Pisar, the narrator of the Kaddish (reading a text Bernstein himself asked him to write in replacement of Bernstein's original, which everyone - Bernstein included - seems to have thought was kind of crap), signed my score. I'd told him my great-grandmother came from the same town in Poland as he did (and he asked me what her name was - which was utterly charming, and I told him, but I also told him my own grandfather was born in 1924 in New York, so his mother would have left the old country long before he, Pisar, was born), and he wrote "for [my name] - my fellow Bialystoker."
There's not enough ♥ in the world.
