Observations
-
Leonard Bernstein attended one of the run through rehearsals., he was looking very tired when I met him.
-
I was Principal Viola in the pit orchestra and there was always some ‘business’ between Nicholas Grace and a few of us musicians during the performance, as he had to address part of a speech to those not on stage.
