The staircase really has a magical quality to it. What a great job you have, to keep it looking beautiful! I would absolutely love a behind-the-scenes tour sometime. Thank you!

I remember being overwhelmed by its opulence myself as a student on field trips with my grade school classes, and now that I am the SLSO's Facilities Manager I oversee their cleaning, carpet replacement, etc. My daughter, who learned her way around Powell at an early age while accompanying me to work on weekends, loved to play "Cinderella Loses A Shoe" on the staircase. Now that she is old enough to attend concerts with me, she enjoys playing the tour guide for our guests! And yes, we do have the occasional staff member or musician have a seat on the steps to eat their lunch, even though the view isn't quite as breathtaking without the show lights on. If you would ever like to take a behind-the-scenes tour, just let me know! I enjoyed your report from the SLSO Bloggers’ Night very much, especially your recollections of the grand staircase.
