Audience Comments
“I want to say again how beautiful I found DREAMS: 12 Variations. I’ve thought about it a lot, wondering a bit just why I found it so unusually striking. Again - just beautiful - to listen to, to look at, to ponder. I loved the scale of it - the simplicity - and of course I realize - ONE realizes, reluctantly, that there are not that many instances of such beauty (and certainly not on stage) in this world. I feel fortunate and happy to be ‘equipped’ to perceive the specialness of DREAMS - comparatively, of course - and emotionally - and even cosmically, as one’s questions about what matters most in life increase. I hope the work will find another life - a future life - and that I will see it again.”
