My, my, my, my, my.
I may have promised more than I can deliver!
In these sacred halls, tonight, there was no revenge - also no talking out of turn, pursuing of tangents, cracking of jokes, squabbling, or mayhem of any kind!
One hardly recognized us.
"Don't worry," our First Lady of Song assured me afterwards. "It's only the first class. They'll be misbehaving in no time."
In the meantime, tonight we accomplished an amazing feat: a Whirlwind Tour through the entire Magic Flute, with all the major arias and duets touched on, and pretty much all of the dialogue read.
We were treated to both of the Queen of the Night's arias, sung in full splendor by our uncontested Queen. We had a couple of different wonderful Papagenos. We are already envisioning him being covered in peacock feathers (donations of feathers, etc. are more than welcome).
And: we have a bass!
Friends, we are flush. Let's enjoy this moment.
