You may be happy to find out that during my backstage tour of the Opera House, I did happen to encounter Mr. Samuel Ramey—or at least his head. I mentioned in an earlier post that each wig is custom-made for the actor. But to avoid bringing the actor in everytime there is to be a fitting for a new role, a facsimile of the actor’s head is created. The wig makers were proud to show off Sam Ramey’s head. He was a big hit.
