I've just had a short conversation with Philip Glass, who was practicing in the music studio next door. I was lurking in the hallway as he started and stopped, then after a while the door opened. He didn't look super startled to find me there. I told him how to find the men's restrooms (he asked) and I told him how much I was looking forward to his ( Read more... )

Thanks!! I really didn't expect to see him during his couple of days here, and then there he was! Pretty amazing!

It really was incredible. He was so normal! I think I was so surprised I was just thinking, "Just be sure to tell him that you've liked his works a long time!" I was a raving squeeing fangirl lunatic once I was back in the Patron Services office, trust me. I will get grief for that for ages to come. :P

That is fantastic! I met him once, but it was like 1990, so that was a WAY long time ago. He seemed pretty cool, though.

I just noticed that Phil Cutlip is in Orphee. I actually went to school with him and we were in choir together. He's an incredibly nice person and I love his voice.

That's great that you met him, too! He's very intelligent and articulate in a sometimes stumbling way, if that makes any sense. You went to school with our Orphée??! Wow! He's worked with Glass a couple of other times and was in the Glimmerglass production of Orphée.
