...Phares played out of his mind," Tri-Captain Rob Strauss said...
Indeed they do. Whether she sports Despina's serving-girl mufti in Mozart's Cosi fan tutte, is decked out in the rococo raiment of Sophie in Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, or sweeps glamorously onto a concert stage dressed in one of her custom-made Rouben Ter-Arutunian gowns, it is impossible to imagine Battle's ever taking a letter or raising a ruler again.
