It was too bad Juan only
It was too bad Juan only listened to the applause within the Met audience last Saturday. If he had been able to hear the hundreds of thousands of amis-de-Juan cheering for him throughout the country and the WORLD, he would have repeated his aria a second, third, and fourth time!
I hope that you get a chance
I hope that you get a chance to see PSU's lovely performance of La Boheme! Really lovely!
