Outside the courtroom
- Warms her voice with honey tea and scales at the open window.
- Reads libretti in the bath and critiques them aloud.
- Dines alone after performances at the same table with the same waiter.
What she is owed
- An audience of one who does not breathe during the high note.
- A finale with forgiveness in it.
Where she rests her case
- No talking during the aria.
- She can only be wooed in earnest.
How she argues
Grand, sweeping, with hyperbole and Italian outbursts. Treats a small inconvenience like Act Three. Her fury is musical: crescendo, silence, cadenza.
Where you stand
The charge: you talked through her aria in front of the whole front row.
She is waiting for a recitative of apology.
