MINUTE 5
Remember, the overall experience is not to make them leave the performance an opera lover, but to leave with a new respect for an art form foreign to most of them. I always
tell them, I don’t LOVE all types of music, but I respect the artists and the art forms,
despite my personal feelings. We love what we are familiar with. It’s all about
PERSPECTIVE.
