...soloists in the Passion were, for the most part, top flight. Karl Dan Sorensen, as the Evangelist, had a remarkable tenor voice of incomparable beauty, given a slight tendency to thin out in the upper register.

I will graduate from candy-pink to black and then, some picture-frame day, to white. Like Hester, I will take off my hair net, let my hair hang down. Even a waitress, even everyone of us plays a game longer than the six-hour shift. It lasts all a life. I have many flavors and I want to please. Give me a smile and I'll give...
