Ben Bliss

We will have performances there, plus we will have one performance with all Cafritz young artists, uh, which, uh, is something we do annually where we pick one standard rep opera that we feature all the young artists.

So I'm thrilled that we'll be presenting Valentina Peleggi as the conductor and Francesca Piovale in her American debut as Violetta opposite Ben Bliss.

So it's a pretty exciting season, I think.

And again, I think of it really as an odyssey and a journey to a number of different venues.

Yeah.

I mean, Ben Bliss is, like, writing a book about it.

Many.

You know, so, you know, about the economy of, of making music in the 21st century.

Where we do have decisions to make is...

I mean, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence talk about, I mean, I'm not going to give Ben Bliss any credit, but he does have at this moment in time, a pretty great quarterback duo.

Oh yeah.

And honestly, Josh Allen playing Detroit and Trevor Lawrence playing Denver is not as scary as it was yesterday.

The minute we let DK go, we traded DK and let Tyler Lockett go and made that JSN's wide receiver core... that's how he got to the super bowl.

So it does, that does make me happy.

I will say Ben bliss will be happy to hear truly just thrilled to hear that.

I'm looking at Bucky Irving against Cleveland on his team.

If anyone here is a fan of that movie, it was just a phenomenal example that I'm going to use for my next elevator pitch.

Then we had Ben Bliss who came in and talked about finances for freelancers.

He talked about the importance of investing.

He talked about how to say yes or no to a gig by figuring out how much it will actually cost you.
