| Maestro Rudel passed away this morning. He was all that is wonderful in opera, respect for the music, a sense of adventure, giving the audience excitement and wonder. Instead of selecting posed, editorial images I've gone into the files, the candid behind the scene images, the work before the audience got the polished production. It was hard work, frustrating work, but satisfying and fun. First, in the auditorium during a BALLO rehearsal with John White. Mr. White watched the money. |
