Tonight was the (absolutely successful) premiere of our (my first ever) Tristan, with a truly top level cast and musical team – and one and only @james.gaffigan
It also happened to be a day I got invited to Verbier Festival.
I know very well how to cope with nearly any kind of crap. But I hardly know how to react to all these wonders! Am speechless and grateful.
