“[Gunn] believes that musical theater performers can learn from opera singers about being more attentive to the 'musical requests' of a composer. But he also believes the opera world can take a page from musicals. Musical theatre people, he says, 'don’t really care so much if you have to change a note or transpose something or get rid of a couple of measures. the point is to tell the story. Period. And I think opera can learn from that – that that is the point of all this music-making.'"
