cahn...My three-year-old has just informed me that he wants to go to the Halloween party tonight as Posa.
Yes, the Marquis of Posa from Don Carlo.
I don't know whether I should be very pleased or very, very frightened.
(To be fair, I think all this means is that he wants to wear his green cape, and I seem to have successfully shunted this into being "Super Rabbit Boy" (the hero of some books we've been reading) but...)
ETA: Now he wants me to be the Prince. So I have a green cape too now. People are gonna be really confused...

Date: 2018-10-29 03:01 am (UTC)I've always thought it was completely unfair that the guys always get to have awesomely swishy capes in those lovely period Met productions and the women don't. Then I watched that Clemenza, and for a brief moment I thought maybe I should have worked way harder at singing lessons so I could have a Sesto or Annio cape someday, before I remembered that I am a soprano, not at all a mezzo, so even if I were any good (which, super unclear) I would never actually get to play Sesto or Annio :)
