Scope and content

Met, Metropolitan Opera Association, Lincoln Center, New York, New York 10023 - Thanks him for his exhilarating letter; the rehearsals for 'Parade' were hair-raising on account of lack of time; has had a letter from Beverly [Sills], telling him how much more exciting it is to work in her theatre [the New York City Opera], and asking about [directing?] 'Alceste' in 1982, which he can't do; ends with a request that he 'explain Peter Hall's mind' to him someday.
