Do I want my singing to be her only memory of Mozart?

At the Cosi Fan Tutte preview I sang on Friday night, a resident at the retirement home at which we sang took my hand after the performance and told me that, at 91, she had never heard anyone sing opera live. I asked her if she liked it and she said she very much did. That was a relief.

I'm glad I didn't fall over or forget my words. I don't want that to be her memory of opera singers.
