Of course I'm doing these instead of the work I'm totally behind on *facepalm*

Let me know if anyone wants me to nominate more characters or groupings. or if there's a request I should make, if this means you will write or draw me a treat :D You can see that in most cases I am just going to request one or two things, so I am totally willing to give up some of these slots if someone prefers something else.

Ha, I don't suppose your parents are members of Met on Demand? :D

I gotta say that -- as you could probably tell from the excerpts -- as often happens, the Met production could do with basically 100% fewer scantily clad ladies randomly scattered around. But I really loved how fun it was with the main characters -- Grigolo-Hampson-Lindsey are just marvelous -- especially with the Villains and Muse/Nicklausse (who is very obviously both), and how they were both always very aware of each other -- sometimes they seemed like antagonists, sometimes like allies in a way (they both want him to dump the girl), and sometimes like supernatural colleagues who are the only ones in the room who notice there;s something weird about the two of them. It's not a big deal (there's always a lot of other stuff going on, of course!) but it's definitely there. On the other hand it's probably just Hampson and Lindsey being awesome, because I watched half of the same production but with a different Villains (though still with Lindsey) and there wasn't any of that interplay >:< Also, I have a giant crush on Kate Lindsey now :) (to go with the giant crush I already had on Hampson, I guess) (sorry, Grigolo, you were really good but... you are also a tenor)

So yeah, the four women are the same, because they're all Stella, but also they aren't, and argh, I've confused myself now. But the opera does have these different layers of reality . . . Like, Lindorf *probably* isn't really an evil sorcerer, but who knows. :P

I mean, wouldn't that make a great fic? I'm just saying! :D

Sadly, no. But I can see what might be available through the local library systems or whatever.

They sound really great!

It would indeed. :D
