Source Moment: Being the first summer festival I had down, I remember Source very fondly. I feel really lucky to have gone the year Julius Drake performed Die schöne Müllerin, won't ever forget that. It is quite amazing to see the amazing things that my fellow colleagues are currently doing/have done.
