The 26"w x 38"h poster, entitled Large Phil Fingerprint/Random (1979), is a portrait of legendary composer and long-time friend Philip Glass, whose latest concert work Book of Longing will made its U.S. premiere at the 2007 festival.

As usual, the operas are surrounded by a teeming array of other musical events, dance and theater. And the charms of the city... are everywhere."
