A Magic Flute

when was the last time you enjoyed opera so much? that is what i thought. man, this is the first operatic work, and the first time, that i ever really emotionally connected with an opera: die zauberflote, the magic flute. perhaps it is the early december nashville weather of a sevety degree day and near steaming rain. perhaps it is having an apartment to myself. perhaps it is mtb's aging but fine stereo components. regardless it is comforting to connect a little with mr. mozart, even if the language is not my own, as i write science fiction and sample a poor beer.
