FEB-APR;SEP-NOV: Attended only 12 performances this year (my fewest in 19 years at the Opera Club). Happily hosted China’s U.N. Ambassador & Mme. Li Baodong & Shirley Young to see Shenyang’s Colline in La Bohème. Ran into Cornell classmate Bill McHugh, in from SFO for Lucia di Lammermoor, which I saw with fellow College Board trustee Luis Martínez-Fernández. Other performances with CB colleagues: Mildred Johnson (Il Barbiere Di Siviglia); Lester Monts (Satyagraha). Love the new fountain: Bellagio!
MAY: On my way to see Die Walküre, I played paparazzi of celebrity chefs entering Avery Fisher Hall for the James Beard Awards: Jacques Pepin & Ming Tsai, Andrew Zimmern, Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay, and Ohio’s Farmer Bob Jones.
