Also, I forget the structure of ACO. Will Manahan have an associate at ACO helping him review scores? I applaud Mr Manahan's breath of operatic activity which ranges from Barber's 'Antony and Cleopatra' and Picker's 'Emmeline' to Weisgall’s 'Esther' and Wuorinen’s 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories'. I wish James Levine and Mr Manahan, both, long productive future careers.
