According to Jones’s prior statement, “My father, the actor Robert Earl Jones, took me on a Grand Tour when
I came to NY to study acting.” Leontyne Price starred in the opera Tosca on the first night. The singing was fantastic, but I didn’t get the opera’s structure.
Margot Fontaine’s Swan Lake took center stage on the second night. The way the bodies moved seemed to be magical.
Pal Joey was the third night. The warm light emanating from the stage captured my attention. I knew I wanted to be in the warmth of the stage light, even if I wasn’t feeling motivated to sing and dance.
