Dear Peter Rose,

A couple of weeks ago I saw your test traveler/polar star at the Friends of Italian Opera.
I came with my parents who were visiting me (and Berlin) at the time and I believed we All expected some kind of cultural and possibly light and easy-going entertainment.

What we got - at least in my opinion - was not "light and easy-going" but indeed a shaking
And a strong emotion evoking performance. The strange coincidence of sharing with my parents a performance that dealt with bi-polarity meant a lot to me. It triggered off the first Discussion ever with my parents about that topic. And I believe I was waiting for that for a long time. And it meant a lot to me.

In fact, we are still talking about the test traveler.

To cut it short: I (my parents too) have come to the conclusion that it must be considered a
Great gift that you are capable as articulating yourself as beautifully as you do. And that you share that gift with your audience.

This is supposed to be a positive feedback. I hope you will enjoy reading it.

Thank-you. And best wishes for you and your future.
