Dreamed of being in a group of people watching the movie The Wild Bunch from a stairway; a movie of a satirical 1930s Broadway musical, with a scene where the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VIII) dedicated a war memorial in Brooklyn, and appeared as a walking statue.
Had an appointment with Dr. Hassan. This time I had more to talk about than usual.
Dinner was shepherd's pie.
Went to the first rehearsal of the Toronto City Opera's new season. There were, including me, only three baritone-basses there! Our patron Tony Fusco appeared and told us of his big dreams for us. Giuseppe said that this year the opera will be doing Donizetti's The Magical Elixir of Love and a couple of one-act operas, including Puccini's Suor Angelica, with an all-female chorus. (The other was Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona, with no chorus.)
