To the Jacobs School of Music Bloomington, Indiana Last evening, I listened and watched the streaming transmission of your production of Mozart's Zauberflöte. Your request for responses from listeners strikes me as more than perfunctory and gives me a welcome opportunity for a review of my thoughts and feelings, a summary which may be of some benefit to you, and which I very much hope does not embarrass you. If apologies are in order, please accept them in advance.
