Due to assorted health problems, her final performance was announced in 2012, but in 2013 she made a brief comeback in a program which involved no dancing.

About Joe Schofield
As a kid I was fascinated with photographs. Look. Life magazine. National Geographic. That well-captured interplay of light and shadow...the notion of people, places and moments - all suspended in time. My first "real" camera was a Minolta Srt101. I was seduced. As a teenager, I learned to develop film while working at Wyle Laboratories in El Segundo.

Kay Brewer
Did you go to an opera? Sometimes the place where the opera is performed absolutely makes the performance! I think this would. l/f
Joe Schofield replied:
Kay, I can testify that the venue can make a difference, but not in this instance, though I’m sure Ms. Becket had the best intentions. My son beat me to La Scala, however.
