Even after going to the Spoleto Festival for 20 years now, I kind of freak out about everything I’ve jammed into my schedule — usually 15 performances in five days — and how little I really know about most of it. The first day is nuts, but the second day I feel like I’ve been there for a week, and by that time I’ve seen something really good or at least interesting.
