Agnes Varis

Awesome ARTICLE in the Wall Street Journal today about Agnes Varis and her program to get young people to the Met Opera for $25 a ticket. Why awesome? Well...this quote:

Ms. Varis, the founder and former president of several pharmaceutical companies, including Agvar Chemicals, Marsam Pharmaceuticals and Aegis Pharmaceuticals, is on a mission to build a younger audience for the Metropolitan Opera, where she is a trustee. "The opera's like Broadway but better. It's got sex, it's got incest, it's got rape," she said. "You introduce young people to music, you've got them for life."

OK. Now back to writing....
