    Thanks for the offer. Kathy and I are looking at which dates work best. I have a special place in my heart for “Elisir” and I know you’ll appreciate why.

    When I was a resident at Northwestern, Carol Fox’s husband (she was the legendary GM of Lyric in those days) was an internist on the staff of the hospital. She gave him the job of finding residents to be the “house doctor” each night in return for tickets. We got to go backstage and meet the performers beforehand, during intermission, and afterwards.

    On one of my nights I got a call to go backstage urgently at intermission because the tenor, who—having had effusive reviews in the New York Times and other media—was making his Chicago debut, had a sore throat and wasn’t sure he could sing the next act.

    I met this young, very large tenor, who spoke no English, and sprayed his throat with what we residents termed the “magic elixir” and he went on to finish his performance brilliantly.

    After the show, we went backstage and were told the tenor wanted to thank us. So between my so-so Italian and his extremely fractured English, we exchanged best wishes. Then he insisted on giving me an autographed photo of himself. I still have it. The inscription read: “Mille grazie, caro dottore. Luciano Pavarotti.”
