Neil, I don't live in Fresno and I have played Nutcracker in
San Francisco a number of times including the SF Ballet
production. And the last thing I would ever conceive of
doing is going to any production of that work. When one
plays something that many times (as I am sure you have done,
too), it ceases to hold very much pleasure. I think I can
do without the Waltz of the Flowers for the rest of my life.
