Papa Papa Papa Papa Papageno

This June, Amherst Ballet and Bill Venman are teaming up to present a ballet of Mozart's "The Magic Flute." I have always, ALWAYS, wanted to be in the pit for this opera. It being a ballet just makes it better; it being Amherst Ballet makes it perfect. I don't know much yet about the production beyond the dates (June 8-10, 2017) and the location (Academy of Music, Northampton MA). However, Bill keeps asking me if I'm sure I'm doing it, so at least this post will make it a matter of public record.

Also, Papageno's aria. With a good view of the pit which I have always coveted
