Big hugs to our dear Uncle Phil, aka Cavaliere di Gran Croce Philip Gossett, Robert W. Reneker Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Music and in the College at The University of Chicago, whose new critical edition of La Forza del Destino has just been shown to the public for the first time in a semistaged tryout, with dear Takesha Meshé -- an Opera Chic discovery, bYoptches! -- as Leonora.
