Once Upon a Time in Germany

Even though there were other important things happening today (a "Dressing for Operatic Success" seminar with costume guru Marsha Leboeuf, an all-too-entertaining L'Etoile run-through among others), I can't resist yet another storyboard from opera in the woods. Once again, all created by the several hundred children in the audience. One of whom, obviously, was recently in Germany :)

Once upon a time in a castle, a king and a princess (quite bored, they were)....

... swam every day (in the moat, of course)....

....until Harry Potter and a dragon.....

.... came along to fly with them.

Of course, there was a surprise character

(some evil guyfrom the Harry Potter books...

I'll have to get the name for you...

I'm not exactly up on all of that, sadly).

But there was a happy ending!

Tomorrow brings more Instant Opera, coachings for Magic Flute (which starts in 5, count 'em, 5 days...) and a National Symphony concert.
