Walked down to the university conservatory for a graduation performance of Carmen. Quite impressive. As a professional actor or performer, you will perform thousands of times. But the night of the graduation performance is meaningful, and therefore more interesting to observe. I remember my conservatory repertory and showcase very well. The moment when the ideas were most full.
"At the beginning of the story, it is only in the heaven of ideas that Carmencita is any different than the other girls around her." (Adorno)
