Did Puccini have it in for women? La Boheme is wonderful, but my favorite Puccini is Tosca, despite the fact that the heroine dies in both of them (just a lot faster in Tosca).

I was a student and had bad seats so we sat on the steps until the ushers moved us away. I agree that it is a great opera to take someone to that thinks they don't like opera. I have created a number of converts to opera by taking them to Boheme. I am so glad you are doing it this season. Carol Boheme has always been a great favotite of mine.

It is a comic opera; if you have to wait for the translation a lot of the humor is lost. This opera should definitely be performed in English to an american audience.

I can only begin to imagine the birthday song but know I'd have loved hearing it. I agree with Tian. You have great heart and bring out the talent of those around you. I wish you, and the whole troupe of Indianapolis Opera talent, a wonderful season. Thanks for all you do. Denis Dear Jim,
